"Citrus College is committed to equal opportunities in education for all students. This includes students with documented disabilities. To qualify for support services, including reasonable accommodations, a student must self-identify and present disability verification from an appropriate, qualified professional to the office of Disabled Student Programs and Services (DSPS). Review the DSPS website, call DSPS at (626) 914-8675, or visit the DSPS office in SS133 for more information.
"If you are registered with DSPS and would like to utilize your accommodations in this course, please email me your Academic Accommodation Plan (AAP). You may also present a copy to me after class or during office hours. Students are encouraged to provide the AAP to the instructor as early as possible to ensure accommodations will be facilitated in a timely manner. Feel free to contact me if you would like to schedule a meeting to further discuss your educational needs and accommodations. Lastly, if you have any accessibility issues with course materials, please contact me or DSPS."
