Center for Disability Services (CDS)
The Center for Disability Services (CDS) assists students with documented disabilities to establish and receive academic accommodations while attending Everett Community College. Please note: The accommodation approval process in higher education is significantly different from the K-12 system.
Approved Accommodations
Accommodations are determined through an interactive process with the student and may include:
- Testing accommodations
- Classroom access (such as lecture capture)
- Physical campus access (such as accessible classrooms)
- Communication & Technology: American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters, Alternative Format Texts (AFT), and Assistive Technology (AT)
How to Apply for Services
- Submit the Application: Fill out the online form available on the EvCC CDS Website.
- Provide Documentation: Submit supporting documentation alongside your application. Review the guidelines on the CDS Documentation Requirements page.
- Schedule an Intake: Once your application is received, a staff member will contact you within two business days to schedule either a virtual or in-person intake appointment.
Critical Timeline Note: Students requesting complex accommodations—such as Alternative Format Texts (AFT) or ASL interpreters—must submit their applications at least 6 weeks before the start of classes. These accommodations require extensive coordination with external agencies to fulfill.
