Disability Support Services Access — A Guide for Students, Faculty and Staff
Disability Support Services Policy Statement
Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana seeks to provide effective services and accommodations
for qualified individuals with documented disabilities. Sources of documentation
will include Vocational Rehabilitation Services (VRS), state or federal governmental
agencies, licensed physicians and psychologists, secondary educational institutions,
or other sources deemed appropriate by Disability Support Services (DSS). The
type of documentation will depend upon the nature of the disability.
It is the student's responsibility to contact the campus DSS representative
to request accommodations; any information shared will be kept confidential
unless the student authorizes release and exchange of specified information.
Requests for accommodations and documentation of disability must be received
at least one month prior to enrollment to the academic term for which services
are requested. Some requests will require more time.
The purpose of DSS throughout Ivy Tech is to provide opportunities
for equal access in college programs, services, and activities. Individuals
also are encouraged to seek funding for post-secondary education through community
and governmental agencies. Each college campus is enriched through the contributions
of all its members.
