Accessibility & Disability Services
The Brevard College Accessibility Office strives to ensure equal access for students with disabilities. We identify accommodations to remove barriers through a student-driven interactive process and review of supporting professional documentation. We support students who need:
- Academic accommodations (Extended test time, separate test setting, notetaking assistance)
- Assistive technology (tools like notetaking technology, speech-to-text software, audiobooks)
- Housing or facility accessibility support
- Assistance with temporary impairments (injury or extended illness)
Overview of Tasks
- Reach out early: Contact Student Accessibility & Disability Services once you’re admitted. Let us know if you have a disability and what your accommodation needs are so we can begin the process of arranging support.
- Register and provide documentation: Visit Accessibility and Disability Services | MyBrevard for additional information and to review and complete the request forms depending on the accommodation type (academic, housing, dietary, ESA, etc.). Find the links to the specific professional documentation guidelines and provider forms related to the kind of accommodation requests. Have documentation sent directly to disabillityservices@brevard.edu or the contact information stated on the documentation form.
- Set up a meeting: For academic accommodations, contact the Accessibility Office before or early in the semester to schedule an appointment to discuss details of your accommodation needs and to approve your Academic Accommodation Letter. (For housing or dietary-related accommodations, Student Accessibility & Disability Services will communicate the next steps following receipt of the student's request form, review of professional documentation, and consultation with the Housing Accommodation Committee.)
- Share the Academic Accommodation Letter: Once approved, students receive an official letter to share with professors.
Criteria for Access
- Privacy & support: We keep your information confidential. Only you and relevant staff will see your disability documentation – professors see only your approved accommodations, not private details.
