• The Differences Between High School and College for Students with Disabilities

According to Federal Law, no (otherwise) qualified person with a disability shall be denied a benefit or opportunity or be excluded from participation solely on the basis of that disability. This means that accommodation or adjustment may be made on a case by case basis to enable an otherwise qualified person with a disability to have full access to classes and programs at Queensborough Community College. 

In order to receive accommodations,  students must be enrolled at Queensborough Community College, registered with the Office of Accessibility Services (OAS) and have appropriate documentation on file. Accommodations are arranged on an individualized basis and must be approved by OAS.

Students are responsible for booking each exam for which they are seeking accommodations through the Office of Accessibility Services. In order to book an exam and receive the appropriate accommodations, the following steps must be taken for each exam you are requesting accommodations:

Booking CUNY Exams

In order to to book the Accuplacer exam for ESL students using the accommodations that you are approved for, you must come in to the office (S-132).
