After reviewing the steps below, you may log in:
2. Log in using your Single Sign-On information, including @cocc.edu, and submit your accommodation requests. Make sure you are scrolling down to see all of your accommodation options. You will be copied on the letter of accommodations that is automatically sent to our instructors (1 week before the term if the term hasn't started).
3. Contact your instructors to review the directions in the letter and how your accommodations will be implemented for their course.
Important Note: Email disabilityservices@cocc.edu if you need assistance. Additional tutorials are listed below. Some accommodations require you to choose an option based on the format of the course and you will need to let your instructor know of your choice. Your instructors may also have questions about how to meet your individual needs, therefore, you will need to have this conversation directly. You may request assistance in facilitating this conversation from Disability Services. Please contact us if you have any questions/concerns about how your accommodations transfer to the online environment or if you are facing new barriers.

Disability Services Survey - We want to hear from you! If you are a returning student who has taken remote classes this past year, we would like to check in on how your accommodations have worked for you. Please answer the short, 5 question survey. This feedback will help us continue to develop ways that we can help both you and our faculty provide better accommodated support. The survey is anonymous; your name will not be requested and you do not have to disclose any disability specific information. We will be sharing the results with our COCC Board of Directors and Stakeholder.
