DMACC Student Handbook: Services for Students

Students with Disabilities

DMACC is committed to providing an accessible environment that supports students with disabilities in reaching their full potential. Support services are available for students who have visual, hearing, mobility, learning or other types of disabilities to ensure equal access to educational opportunities. Specialized software, adaptive equipment, alternative testing, classroom accommodations and interpreting are examples of the support services offered. DMACC employs a special needs coordinator to work with students to develop and coordinate services based on individual student needs. Any student with a disability who requires reasonable accommodation to participate fully at DMACC should follow these steps.

1. Contact the special needs coordinator at 515-964-6850 V, 515-964-6809 TTY or the counseling and advising office on any of the six campuses for an Application for Accommodations.
2. Submit the completed application and supporting documentation to Des Moines Area Community College, 2006 South Ankeny Boulevard, Bldg. 6-10b, Ankeny, Iowa 50023. Attention: Special Needs Coordinator.
3. Schedule a time to meet with the special needs coordinator, counselor or advisor to discuss coordination of these services.
