LSC Office of Disability Services
If you currently receive accommodations in your high school courses through 504 or Special Education, you MUST request accommodations through LSC's Office of Disability Services for your college courses (dual credit courses).
Please follow the "Disability Services Accommodation Process" checklist to ensure you complete all the necessary steps well BEFORE your classes begin.
Selecting from your approved list of accommodations must be done EVERY semester for EACH class you're taking. It's recommended that you log into the VDAC system prior to the first day of class and again anytime you receive an email from LSC stating one of your courses has been added or dropped.
