Services for Students with Learning Disabilities

Each student in need of special services such as an accommodation for a learning disability MUST self-identify in the department of learning and student services in order to be eligible to receive special services and accommodations. Students will be required to supply the college with the appropriate documentation. The student with learning disabilities requests testing modifications and sends a copy of his/her high school individual education plan to the department as soon after admission as possible. Services are provided on an individualized basis by considering both the student's limitations and the demands of the course of study that the student has chosen.

The college's facilities are accessible to students with disabilities. Sullivan does not discriminate on the basis of handicaps in its admissions, educational programs and activities in compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Services for Students with Disabilities.

The department of learning and student development provides a variety of support services to students with learning disabilities including but not limited to:

separate location testing
extended testing time
oral examinations
reader & notetaker services

Students who need such services should send a copy of their high school individual education plan(s) to the department as soon as possible. Tutoring also is available, free of charge, to all students. Appointments are encouraged. For more information contact Eileen Howell at ext. 4328 or visit the following websites:
