Support for Students with Learning Disabilities and
Attention Difficulties
 The
College is strongly committed to providing excellent support to students
with documented learning disabilities and attention difficulties.
An individually structured program has been designed to accommodate
students with varying needs. Master’s level professionals in
the fields of Education, Educational Psychology, Special Education,
Counseling, and Reading work to help each student design strategies
for academic success. Accommodation Plans are determined through a
review of the documentation provided by the student and the recommendation
of the student’s Comprehensive Advisor, who works closely with
each individual. The student will have access to our foundational
services prior to, during, and after enrollment in our fee-based programs.
The following services are provided when appropriate to the needs
of the student:
- Individual support from a Comprehensive
Advisor who plans and coordinates accommodation of student
needs and acts as liaison with other departments of the College.
The Comprehensive Advisor mentors the student through graduation
with intensive emphasis on the student’s first and second
year.
- Weekly one-on-one academic strategy guidance
- Support for the transition to college level academics
- Individualized Accommodation Plan, updated
as needed
- Preferential registration and specialized academic
advising for the first three semesters
- Extended time and separate test taking location
for qualified students
- Note-takers when appropriate
- Alternative textbook format, i.e., available
computer software, enlarged print, digital textbooks
- Walk-in peer tutoring, led by students who are
recommended by department faculty with at least a B average. Peer-based
Writing and Math Labs are supervised by the respective campus departments.
- Utilization of Lindamood-Bell ® approach to learning
(this program is fee-based).
