To apply for assistance, students must do the following:

1. Call 410 772-4822 V/TDD or visit the Learning Assistance Center (L-230 in the Library) on the second floor of the LRC Building to have an application mailed to you or to pick one up.  Applications are available in the LAC, SSS and DSS offices or by calling (410) 772-4822.
   
   
2. Complete the Learning Assistance Center Registration form and Tutor Request forms. Return the completed forms with a copy of the most recent documentation of your disability to the Learning Assistance Center or the Disability Support Services Office (L-210 in the Library).
   
   
3. Call 410 772-4629 to set up an appointment to meet with a counselor.
   
   
4. Discuss possible accommodations with the counselor, who will help to develop a plan for academic support, counseling and advisement.  Together you will complete and Accommodation Request form. Following completion of the Accommodation Request memos will be sent to your instructors detailing what accommodations have been agreed upon. It is still your responsibility to speak with your instructors to make sure they have received the memo and to make sure your needs for their particular class are clear.  If you have difficulty with making arrangements with your instructor for your accommodations, please contact your counselor.  He/she can act as an advocate on your behalf.
   
   
5. If a sign language interpreter is needed, submit an application at least two weeks prior to the semester.  Failure to give adequate notice of the need for an interpreter may result in the college not being able to find one for the student.
   
   
6. If a reader/ writer/proctor is needed as a test accommodation, you need to provide your counselor with a list of dates for your exams in each class.  You also need to provide your instructors with a Reader/Writer Test Form (available in N-200 and L-230) and to remind the instructor two weeks prior to the test that you will need this special accommodation. Because we employ part-time personnel to act as Reader/Writers, we require as much as two weeks lead time in order to schedule readers, writers or proctors for your exam (s).  This is especially true during peak exam periods.
   
   
7. Students who use wheelchairs or have other mobility difficulties need to notify their instructors in advance if they are enrolled in a field trip course such as ARTT-221 or ARTT-220 so that the college can provide a wheelchair accessible bus and make appropriate accommodations at the field trip sites.
