Center for Disability Services

The Center for Disability Services is dedicated to ensuring that all programs and services of the College of Charleston are accessible; to providing reasonable and effective accommodations while promoting independence in the student; to offering educational opportunities to students, faculty and staff that enhance understanding of the various types of disabilities, promoting an environment respectful of all; and to serving as a resource center for faculty, staff, students and the community.

SNAP (Students Needing Access Parity) Services provides assistance and guidance to students with a documented disability to ensure equal access to all programs and services of the College. More information about the SNAP program can be found in our brochure.

Once a student is approved for services, SNAP provides:

• Assistance with advising and registration
• Reasonable and appropriate accommodations specific to individual needs based on the psychoeducational assessment or medical documentation
• Communication with instructors, upon request, to heighten their awareness of individual student needs and to seek appropriate accommodations
• Alternative courses to the math/logic and foreign language requirement if need is documented by psychoeducational assessment or medical documentation
  Please note: If math is considered to be an essential component of the major, alternatives to the math/logic requirement may not be used.
• Assistive Technology: hardware and software students may need to have access to classroom content and activities
