Disability Services

Disability Services coordinates campus-wide efforts to provide services and accommodations for students with disabilities. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the office ensures that eligible students receive proper classroom modification and serves as a liaison between faculty and students. Medical or psychological documentation is required to recognize a disability. Categories include:

  • Physical impairment
  • Sensory impairment (hearing or vision impaired)
  • Specific learning disability
  • Psychiatric/addictive disorders

To begin services, a registered BPCC student must not only provide the Disability Services with proper documentation, but must request assistance. In order to receive special accommodations for standardized tests (ACT), students must make the request at least two weeks in advance of the test date.

Stop by Building F, Room 250, or call 318-678-6315 for an appointment.
