Web Accessibility

Casper College is committed to ensuring accessibility of our websites, web content and web applications to people with disabilities. It is the right thing to do, the smart thing to do, and it is the law.

Nolte Gateway Center, may include but are not limited to:

Documentation is usually provided by a physician, psychologist, learning disabilities specialist, or rehabilitation counselor.

When to request services?

Students are expected to request services in a timely manner, usually before classes start. The time needed will vary for the service requested — for example, some services such as Braille or providing texts in alternative formats can take several weeks or even months depending on the availability of readers, the use of outside agencies, cooperation of publishers, etc. Students are encouraged to request support services as early as possible; the earlier services are requested, the more likely it will be that appropriate accommodations will be available when needed.

How do I apply for services and receive accommodations?

Meet with a disability services counselor.
Provide current documentation of your disability.
Each semester, the student and the disability services counselor will work out an appropriate services agreement outlining the accommodations that will be provided.
Students are responsible for informing instructors of the accommodations to which the student is entitled by delivering a copy of the services agreement signed by the disability services counselor.
If a situation arises regarding accommodations, the student should notify the disability services counselor.
