Introduction

Welcome to the Online Application for Disability Services. If you have an immediate need to access campus for a visit or orientation, please contact the DS office directly.

This Application is intended for currently admitted QVCC students who are first-time registrants with the DS office and who wish to arrange an intake meeting to discuss accommodations for school.  Please complete all applicable items on the form and submit any supporting medical documentation regarding your disability so that we may best understand your needs.  If you have previously requested accommodations through this form, and want to view your request and associated materials, you should log into QVCC's Accommodate Portal. 

If you do not enter all the *required information, the form will not be submitted successfully.  Check for the "Successfully Submitted" response.

After completing this Application you will receive an email instructing you to schedule an intake meeting to discuss your request.  When scheduling your meeting, please indicate if you will require any accommodations for the meeting, such as interpreters or large print. DS engages in an interactive process with each student and reviews requests for accommodations based on an individual's particular situation and needs.

QVCC complies with the letter and spirit of Federal Laws, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.  Reasonable accommodations will be determined and approved only following an interactive Intake Meeting.  Accommodations are based on student self-reporting and review of appropriate documentation.
