mission, DR strives to create an environment that supports understanding and acceptance of disability throughout all CVTC campuses. Instructors, to the extent possible, are responsible for coordinating and providing accommodations to qualified students with disabilities as outlined in their plans. The Diversity Resources department serves as a liaison between students and instructors to determine appropriate accommodations and to assist instructors in finding ways to provide those accommodations.
Self-advocacy is very important, and it is recommended that students request accommodations as early as possible by connecting with DR before or during your first semester at CVTC. However, students may connect with DR at any point in their time at CVTC. Services are free and confidential. Please contact the Diversity Resources office at 715-833-6234 to determine what documentation is needed, and what accommodations may be appropriate. While Disability staff determine appropriate accommodations on a case-by-case basis, some examples of potential accommodations include:
