Introduction to Disability Services

Chippewa Valley Technical College welcomes students with disabilities. We will provide and coordinate special accommodations for all students with documented disabilities in accordance with Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act and the Americans With Disabilities Act. Accommodations are designed to “level the playing field” by giving all students the same opportunity to succeed at CVTC.

The most successful students are those who self-advocate for their needs and ask for assistance prior to the start of the semester. Please contact the Disability Services office to determine what documentation you need to provide, and what accommodations you may be eligible to receive.

Below are some of the more common accommodations for which you may be eligible. Keep in mind however that all accommodations are provided on an individualized basis and tailored to the person and their disability or disabilities.
