Erie Community College, State University of New York

Erie Community College is committed to the growth and development of students with disabilities, enabling them to reach their academic and career goals. ECC's Office of Disabled Student Services, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, ensures the accessibility and usability of all programs, services, activities, and facilities to qualified students with disabilities, as well as offering support, information, and resources.

Erie Community College has a Disabled Student Services Office at each campus location. The counselors at each office are available to assist students in arranging reasonable accommodations and individualized services according to need and qualification.

In accordance with Section 504, each student is personally responsible for meeting with a DSS counselor to identify needs, provide appropriate disability documentation, and arrange for reasonable accommodations. Accommodations for the college's placement test may be made by meeting with a DSS counselor and providing documentation of disability. Accommodations are made according to the DSS Placement Test Schedule, and ECC reserves the right to make the final decision on what accommodations are appropriate and reasonable. All information pertinent to a student's disability given to the DSS office is completely confidential.
