Academic Accommodations and Disability Support Services

NEC is committed to providing an accessible academic community. To that end, the Disability Support Services (DSS) team offers a variety of accommodations and services to students with documented disabilities, permanent and temporary injuries, and chronic conditions.

We engage you and your faculty on an individualized, case-by-case basis to provide you with an equitable opportunity to participate in, contribute to, and benefit from our academic and residential experiences.

Students requesting academic accommodations will need to submit a Request for Academic Accommodations Form and provide documentation from a medical provider(s). Completing these documents can often take time to prepare, so we encourage you to begin this process now. Even if you didn’t engage in an accommodation plan at your prior school, we encourage you to learn about the process at NEC. Also, please note if you previously received an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and/or Section 504 Plan, it will not automatically transfer to NEC.

Please email us at DSS@necmusic.edu if you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to meeting you!

Sincerely,

Matao Bonner

Coordinator of Student Care and Support
