(Consumer Information Disclosure)
IECC is committed to maintaining an inclusive and accessible environment in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, its amendments, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.
Support is available in the form of accessible facilities, individualized plans, and reasonable accommodations to students who meet the requirements of a person with a disability. A disability requiring additional staff or funding, contractual arrangements through an outside vendor, or structural modifications (such as adaptive or assistive technology) may require several weeks to be arranged. To receive appropriate accommodations in your classes, please see the guidelines that follow. (Additional information, including the list of ADA Coordinators, can be found in the Americans with Disabilities Act Procedure.)
