Disability Access Services (DAS)
Community Colleges of Spokane has support service programs and centers for students who have documented disabilities and who are “otherwise qualified” for community college programs (as defined by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act). Because the nature and scope of services may vary between institutions, you should check with each institution’s DAS Office for details.
Academic accommodations and adjustments are available based upon individually determined needs and may include interpreters, assistive learning devices and technology, note takers, readers, scribes, materials and textbooks in alternate format, large print or Braille materials, priority registration, alternate testing, information and referral services, and assistance with accessing campus processes such as admission and registration. Other academic adjustments may be determined on an individual basis.
To receive services, students are required to contact and provide documentation of their disability to the DAS Office at SCC, SCC Extended Learning - Northern Counties, or SFCC. Student information is kept confidential in accordance with FERPA policy.

Multicultural Student Services

Servicesmembers' Opportunity College
Both SCC and SFCC are Servicemembers' Opportunity Colleges (SOC). Each college, through its actions, assumes its responsibilities of meeting the needs of an individual and immediate family members (wife, husband, children in domicile) serving in the Armed Forces in their quest for an educational experience. In order to meet this need, CCS has:
- admission policies that relate to the life conditions of the servicemember and eligible family members;
- adjusted residency requirements for the servicemember and eligible family members that hinder educational progress;
- provided special services to meet the special needs of service members and eligible family members.
Since mobility makes it unlikely that a servicemember can complete all degree program requirements at one institution, a SOC institution designs its transfer practices for servicemembers to minimize loss of credit and avoid duplication of coursework, while simultaneously maintaining the integrity of its programs. Consistent with requirements of a servicemember's degree program, a SOC institution follows the general principles of good practice outlined in the Joint Statement on the Transfer and Award of Credit. Each institution may be required to submit documentary evidence that it generally accepts credits in transfer from other accredited institutions, and that its credits in turn are generally accepted by other accredited institutions.
