FAQs
You are required to meet with Disability Resources each semester to set up your accommodations.
You are expected to achieve the same course objectives, and there are no modifications to homework requirements. You are also responsible for identifying yourself as a student with a disability and letting your instructors know what your needs are. Disability Resources staff will assist you with this process.
What is the role of Disability Resources?
Disability Resources provides equal access to educational programs and activities to students at Yavapai College with documented disabilities. We are a resource for students, faculty and staff, providing education and awareness of disability issues. We work with students with disabilities to determine what accommodations or adjustments will be useful to improve access to the learning environment.
Accommodations are provided at no cost to the student.
How do I register for Disability Resources?
Contact the Prescott Learning Center to schedule an appointment: (928) 776-2085.
Bring the following items with you to your appointment: documentation diagnosing your disability (from a physician, psychologist, or psychiatrist), your most recent IEP (Individualized Educational Plan), and/or anything else that helps to prove your disability. Please bring a copy of your class schedule if you are currently registered.
How long does it take to get help?
