Disability Services
Penn College encourages qualified students with disabilities to take advantage of its educational programs. The first step is to arrange for appropriate accommodations.
A student with disabilities seeking accommodations must:
- self-identify as an individual with a disability;
- request needed accommodations;
- provide documentation, from the appropriate professional, explaining how the disability limits participation in courses, programs, activities, and use of facilities.
Students with documented disabilities can rely on our office to explore and facilitate reasonable accommodations, academic adjustments, and/or auxiliary aids and services.
Semester Hours
- Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
- This office will be closed in accordance with Penn College's Academic Calendar.
Students anticipating the need for accommodations, both before and after enrollment, are encouraged to contact Disability Services.
