Disability Services

Disability Services at Sampson Community College is committed to creating an accessible community where all students have equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from programs and services offered by the College. The goal of Disability Services is to ensure that programs and facilities are in compliance with The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and all provisions, as well as the Americans with Disabilities Act as amended in 2008.

The Coordinator of Special Populations & Testing works with students, faculty, and staff to ensure that students with disability or medically diagnosed impairment receive effective and meaningful services. College policies and procedures are not discriminatory, and every effort is made to provide reasonable accommodations for auxiliary aids and services as indicated by the functional limitations of a qualified disability.

Seizure Disorders

Students with a history of seizures should contact the coordinator and provide medical documentation to ensure appropriate procedures are followed in the event of a seizure.

Eligibility

It is the responsibility of the student to self-identify the disability, provide appropriate documentation and make contact with the Coordinator of Special Populations & Testing. The coordinator is located in Student Services, first floor of North Building. Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis. Accommodations cannot be provided for students who are not registered with Disability Services and accommodations are not retroactive. Please visit the Disability Services webpage for a listing of services and accommodations that may be provided to students.
