Disability Services and the College Credit Plus (CC+) High School

• Disability Services is the college office that approves

accommodations for any student with a disability taking college-level coursework.

• Accommodations for college students with disabilities are

approved through the lenses of The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504, Subpart E.

• Accommodations for high school students with disabilities

are approved through the lenses of The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Free Appropriate Education (FAPE), and The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504, Subpart D.

What’s the Difference?

• When a CC+/ Dual Enrollment student is taking college-level

coursework, and earning college credit, accommodations are approved by Columbus State Community College’s Disability Services.

• It is important to keep in mind that college-level

accommodations “…are not required to produce the identical result or level of achievement for handicapped and non- handicapped persons, but must afford handicapped persons equal opportunity to obtain the same result, to gain the same benefit, or to reach the same level of achievement…” (The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504, Subpart A, 104.4.2)

Some Examples of High School Accommodations No Longer Appropriate at the College Level

• Dependent on the location of the CC+/ Dual Enrollment

class.

• If the class is taught at the high school, the high school

will provide the accommodations when/if available and appropriate.

– If the high school is unable to provide a specific accommodation, CSCC will provide said accommodation.

• If the class is taught at a CSCC campus, CSCC will

provide the accommodations.

• Regardless of class location, the student must register

with Disability Services in order to receive accommodations.

Who Provides CC+ Accommodations?

• Completed annually by high schools, which will:

– Help Disability Services keep a current ‘inventory’ of available accommodations to College Credit Plus students at their respective high schools – Help determine the most appropriate provider of specific accommodations – Keep lines of communication open between Disability Services and high schools
