Welcome 

  Welcome to the College of New Caledonia's Disability Support Services.  The purpose of Disability Support Services is to ensure that all students who meet regular entrance requirements have equal access to programs and services at the College of New Caledonia, regardless of disability. Prospective students are encouraged to contact Disability Support Services at least four months before their program starts.

    Current documentation is required to ensure that appropriate services can be identified and provided in a timely manner. Services are individualized to meet specific disability-related needs. Every effort will be made to accommodate required supports and services; however, early contact is essential, as some accommodations require significant time to arrange. Supports and services may include, but are not limited to:

• Assistance with external funding applications for services and/or equipment
• Instructor and community agency liaison
• Accommodation planning
• Assistance with the admissions/registration process
• Provision of assistive technology through AT-BC
• Entrance exam accommodations
• Provision of support services such as note-taking, tutors, exam accommodations,
• Interpreters, alternate format textbooks, learning strategies instruction, or other support requirements related to specific disability issues.

Disability Support Services are available between August and June each year. Self-referrals, instructor, counselling and community agency referrals are welcomed.

Note: Students who need assistance with career planning/course selection should contact Counselling & Advising first.
