We want to support you in achieving your goals at NHTI!

Welcome to Disabilities Services! Policies and Procedures for Receiving Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities at NHTI, Concord's Community College

In compliance with Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1991, NHTI does not discriminate against students with disabilities in terms of program admissions and/or opportunities for academic success. Students with disabilities are encouraged to disclose the nature of their disabilities to the Coordinator of Disabilities Services prior to the beginning of their first semester at NHTI. Students with disabilities who choose not to disclose their disability will not be eligible for services unless they provide documentation of their disability to the Coordinator of Disabilities Services. The services available to students with disabilities vary according to students' individual needs. Information regarding students' disabilities is kept confidential.

Free, Friendly, Confidential Services Available for Eligible Students

Disabilities Services can support your goals and program of study through:

• Reasonable Accommodation Plans
• Academic Coaching
• Assistive Technology and Equipment Loans
• Referral for Diagnostic Testing
• Request for Reduced Course Load Verification for Health Insurance and Athletic Participation

Who may be eligible?

Any qualified student who has:

• a diagnosed disability, including students taking one course at NHTI
• a history of a disability, but has not previously received service
• a history of school difficulties, and who may have an undiagnosed learning disability or attention deficit disorder or other disability

Documentation is required in all cases; some restrictions apply. Eligibility is determined by the Coordinator of Disabilities Services.

Important Notes

• Students are given equal opportunity to pursue programs of study and are evaluated with the same course objectives as all other students.
• Accommodations such as extended time on tests and separate quiet test environment may help students to achieve course objectives.
