About the Office of Accessibility
Policies
The Office of Accessibility at Rowan-Cabarrus is offered to assist students with disabilities in achieving their educational and vocational goals and to comply with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The college’s goal is to make RCCC accessible for all students. In order to minimize the effects of a student’s disability on his/her classroom performance, a reasonable accommodation or adjustment is provided as long as an accommodation or adjustment does not alter a published course competency or course standard. Services are provided based on documentation provided by the student and the individual’s particular needs and circumstances.
Mission
It is the mission of the Office of Accessibility for students with disabilities to have equal access to learning at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. Believing that students with disabilities can better advocate for their own needs with greater success, we strive to empower students at every step.
