Procedures for Receiving Disability Counseling Services at CPCC

· Follow the Steps to Enrollment at http://www3.cpcc.edu/enroll/

· If you are going to need Financial Aid to attend CPCC, visit http://www.cpcc.edu/financial_aid.

· Take CPCC Placement Test – (http://www.cpcc.edu/testing_assessment/placement-testing) for information and study guide materials. If you need testing accommodations contact Disability Services.

· Send your documentation to our office along with a Student Intake form to Disability Services.

After your documentation has been reviewed an appointment will be set up for you to meet with a Counselor. In the meeting your counselor will:

· Review your documentation with you

· Go over your goals at CPCC

· Review the process for registering for classes, obtaining tutoring and using CPCC IT services

· Discuss appropriate accommodations

· Complete needed forms

· Schedule a follow up appointment

Once an Accommodation Form is completed the student will need to:

· Have each instructor sign the form and if appropriate the Testing Center. It is very important that all forms are signed and returned to Disability Counseling Services.

· If appropriate set up a brief meeting with each instructor to explain your disability and accommodations needed. This can also be done via e-mail.

· Review Disability Counseling Services Policies.

· If appropriate, schedule a meeting with Alisha Hankerson, Testing and Technology Lab Assistant, to discuss your test schedule and books in alternative format. (http://www.cpcc.edu/disabilities/alternative-textbook-request-procedures)
