Disability Services
Information, Policies, & Procedures for Students

PREFACE

As an institution of higher education and in the spirit of its policies of equal employment opportunity, Calhoun Community College hereby declares its policy of equal educational opportunity.  All applicants for admission will be considered without regard to an applicant's race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or disability unrelated to program performance.  Complaints or grievances of any student who has reason to think he or she has been affected by discrimination will be considered through established procedures.

Disability Services (DS)*, a function of the Office of Services to Special Student Populations, located in Room 218 of the Chasteen Student Center on Calhoun's Decatur campus, serves as the central campus resource for students with disabilities.  Working in partnership with students, faculty, and staff, the goal of DS is to provide a physically and educationally accessible college environment that ensures an individual is viewed on the basis of ability, not disability.  DS staff members work individually with students to determine appropriate accommodations that will enable all students to have access to the same programs and services, and to have students' academic performance evaluated, to the extent possible, without the limiting effects of a disability.

 *  For brevity, Calhoun's Decatur campus address is used throughout this manual; however, each campus location has DS available to its students and potential students.  For disability questions, contact any of the locations identified in the preceding section of this manual (Disability Services Staff).
