The Disabled Student Center provides support services to disabled students in an effort to ensure equal opportunity and participation in the college's educational program. To receive services from the center, each student must comply with the following:
- Submit verification of disability by a physician or other qualified professional.
- Demonstrate the ability to benefit from instruction.
- Take care of personal needs, and if necessary, provide a personal attendant while on campus
Because of the college's concern for the well-being of all students, OCC has a policy governing a student who has a seizure on campus. When a physician indicates that seizures possibly endanger the student or others, the student may be denied enrollment.
Specialized equipment, supplies, and resource information are available in the Disabled Student Center. Assistance is also available for registration, test proctoring, campus orientation, note taking and readers.
The Disabled Student Center is located in the Special Services Building. Hours: 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. For information call ext. 25807.
