I have a 504 Plan or an IEP from my high school. Does that automatically transfer to ECC?419 views

No. Students can still receive accommodations in college; however, IEPs and 504 Plans apply only to K-12 settings. Students must meet with the Student Access and Disability Services staff members to identify accommodations available at the college level. Student Disabilities Services Registration is required to receive accommodations. You'll need to make an intake appointment to get started. 

Reasonable accommodations are designed to provide equal access to students with disabilities. These are determined on an individual basis; therefore, not all accommodations are appropriate for every student. Accommodations may include, but are not limited to:

• Accessible formats of text and materials*
• Accessible furniture
• Adaptive computer hardware/software
• Assistive technology devices*
• Captionists*
• Extended test time/quiet testing area
• Extensions on assignments
• Flexibility in attendance
• Note-takers/recording devices
• Preferential seating
• Sign language interpreters*
• Test readers/scribes

*Please contact the Student Disabilities Services Office at least 6 weeks prior to the start of the semester to give us time to implement by calling 847-214-7717 or email sds@elgin.edu.
