Disability Services / Special Populations

Trinidad State is committed to providing equal educational opportunity for persons with disabilities in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and in compliance with CCCS State Board Policy BP 19-60b – Student Disability Services. Students, including concurrent high school students, requesting accommodations must self-identify to Disability Services / Special Populations and provide current documentation from a qualified professional. The student must take on the role and responsibility of self-advocacy. Student disclosure is always voluntary, but in order to receive accommodations, students must identify themselves as having a disability. Trinidad State will provide reasonable accommodations provided they do not: 1) fundamentally alter the nature or operation of the programs, services, or activities at the College, 2) cause undue burden to the College, or 3) pose a direct threat to the health and safety of others. Accommodations are not retroactive.
