Accessibility Services strongly believes in diversity as an integral part of society and our college community. It is our mission and commitment to assist students with disabilities to self-advocate for equitable access to their academic environment.
For Your Safety and Ours
Students can request for an in-person or virtual appointment with AS. Testing appointments are also available both virtually and in-person. Masks/facial coverings are required on campus for all students. Your health and safety and of the AS Team are important to us.
Please contact us at 719-502-3333 or at ppcc.access@ppcc.edu to schedule an appointment or for more information.
An Accessible Education for Students with Disabilities
Through an interactive process with a disability specialist, your instructor, and you, Accessibility Services provides classroom and testing accommodations for students with both temporary and long-term disabilities. We are here to support you to self-advocate for your accessible education.
The Accommodation Process
New Students
New students must schedule an appointment with a disability specialist to determine accommodations.
Contact Us and Request: To schedule an appointment, call us at 719-502-3333 or email us at ppcc.access@ppcc.edu. We recommend contacting us at least 4 weeks before the semester beginning, but we will gladly work with you throughout the entire semester.
Engage in the Interactive Process: Meet with one of our disability specialists. Discuss the disability-related circumstances that impact your learning and how we can support you. Provide documentation of your disabilities, if available.
Self-Advocate: Discuss your accommodations with your instructors. Utilize PPCC's academic support services, like tutoring and counseling.
Returning AS Students
Returning AS students are welcome to either request accommodation letters be sent each semester through our Notification of Accommodations Request if no changes are necessary, or schedule an appointment with us to discuss needed changes. Returning AS students are still encouraged to self-advocate by discussing your accommodations with your instructors each semester and to utilize PPCC's academic support services, like tutoring and counseling.
