Student Services
Disability Services works with students on an individual basis to determine what accommodations would be most effective to help them achieve academic success. Some, but not all, of our accommodations are described below.
Priority Registration
Priority or pre-registration allows students with documented disabilities who register with disability services to register for classes each semester at the earliest scheduled registration date. Learn more about priority registration
Note Takers
Note takers are identified from the student’s classroom. Students may be willing to find a classmate to provide them with copies of their notes.
However, if the student has difficulty finding a note taker, the instructor can assist in identifying potential note takers. Our office also has other note taking options, please contact us to find out more information.
Accessible Technology
Disability Services is equipped with adaptive and accessible computer equipment and software. Learn more about our available technology and how to gain access.
Alternative Textbook/Handout Format
Alternative formats for textbooks or handouts can be made available from disability services to students who submit appropriate supporting documentation. Learn more about available alternative formats and texts.
Interpreters
Disability services will coordinate services through freelance interpreters, CART reporters and the Massachusetts Commission for Deaf and Hard of Hearing (MCDHH), to ensure quality services, depending on your specific interpreting or CART needs. Learn more about interpreters.
FM Systems
FM Systems are available through Disability Services for use by students. Contact Disability Services for more information.
Scheduling Computers Aided Real Time (CART) Services
Computer aided real time (CART) services are the near verbatim transformation of the spoken word into a visual text display on a computer screen. Learn more about this service and if it’s right for you.
