All Berkeley College students are eligible for reasonable accommodations and support services based on individual needs and the disability documentation provided by the student.

Accommodations are approved by the ADA Coordinator/Personal Counselor, in collaboration with the student, based on your documented disability.

If you have questions or concerns about obtaining documentation for a disability, please contact your campus ADA Coordinator/ Personal Counselor.

To Register for Disability Support Services:

  1. Schedule an appointment with one of the ADA Coordinators/ Personal Counselors
  2. Complete an Application for Disability Services and Accommodations with the ADA Coordinator/ Personal Counselor. The Application can be found on Berkeley College's website for Disability Services
  3. Provide current (within 3 years) documentation of a diagnosis from a licensed professional, along with that professional's recommendations for appropriate accommodations to the ADA Coordinator/ Personal Counselor. Documentation must include:
    • Diagnosis of the disability
    • The severity of the diagnosis
    • Functional limitations of the disability
    • Treatments provided for the disability
    • Recommendations for successful learning
    • Must have accommodations

Please see the attached PDF for more information on Disability Services and accommodations.
