Individuals currently enrolled in credit courses (including Dual Credit and course auditors), noncredit courses, Continuing Education, TSI Testing, as well as those seeking enrollment or re-enrollment are eligible to receive services.
Services include, but are not limited to: 1) consultations, 2) community agency referral, and 3) accommodations (i.e., extended test time, testing in a reduced distraction environment, note taking assistance, assistive technology/software, special seating arrangements/furniture, readers/scribes, and alternative format text books).

Additionally, full suites of services have already transitioned to being virtually available in response to COVID-19 precautions.
