Vernon College provides reasonable accommodations to qualified students in accordance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities (ADA) act of 1990. Accommodations are made on a case-by-case basis. Students with special needs are encouraged to contact the Director of Special Services as early as possible. Early notice is required to prepare for and provide special accommodations by the first week of class. All requests for special accommodations due to a disability must be accompanied by appropriate and acceptable documentation. It is the responsibility of the student to provide documentation that qualifies the student as an individual with a disability, as defined by law, and supports the requested accommodation.  

If you need special services or instructional accommodations, be sure to see the Documentation Guidelines and the request procedure.

Send appropriate documentation to the Director of Special Services, along with the semester and year when you intend to enroll and the location of the campus you plan to attend, and

The Director’s Fax Number is: (940) 552-6387

1. Contact the Director of Special Services as soon as possible if the accommodations you plan to request require time to arrange: interpreters for the deaf, alternative versions of textbooks, adaptive equipment or furniture, etc.
