Support for Students with DisabilitiesThe Disability Services Office works closely with eligible students to arrange for reasonable academic accommodations and auxiliary aids, which will afford each student the opportunity to participate fully in Centenary College’s services, programs, and activities. Staff members assist students with arranging access to classrooms, developing learning strategies, and advisement with disabilities issues. The Disability Services Office also offers two programs specifically designed to support students with mild emotional and learning disabilities: The goals of the Project ABLE and STEP Ahead programs are to provide a bridge between the structured and sometimes modified secondary-school setting to the predominantly self-directed college environment. Emphasis is placed on acquiring the skills needed to become an effective, contributing member of the college community. |
