Office of Disability Services

In the spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Cochise College assists students in discovering and developing their full potential by providing support services to students who may need reasonable accommodation or adjustment in order to achieve academic success.

To be eligible to receive an accommodation from Disability Services, a student must be enrolled in Cochise College and have a mental or physical impairment that substantially limits a major life activity. The disability must be verified by appropriate documentation, which means a professional in the area of the disability must document the nature and severity of the disability. Professionals may include medical doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, and learning specialists. An appointment must then be made with the Director of Disability Services for the student to complete the intake process necessary to request services and accommodations. Students who need accommodations for placement testing should contact one of the offices of Disability Services prior to testing. Information is available at (800) 966-7943 or www.cochise.edu/disability.
