Disability Services is dedicated to assisting students with disabilities accomplish their personal, scholastic and career goals by teaching academic and advocacy skills, by eliminating the physical, technical and attitudinal barriers that limit opportunities, and by promoting an awareness of the experience of persons with disabilities within social, political, and economic constructs.

We are committed to providing all services and operating all programs in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. We envision a future in which the elimination of barriers has been so effective and the acceptance of diversity so inclusive that Columbia State Community College, both as a facility and as a community, naturally accommodates students with disabilities through the application of universal design.
