Welcome to P&HCC’s Accessibility & Accommodation Services

Patrick & Henry Community College (P&HCC) is committed to ensuring all qualified students have an opportunity to pursue a college education regardless of the presence or absence of a disability. P&HCC makes reasonable accommodations in providing the course, program, and building modifications, and/or auxiliary aids and services that are necessary to assure equal access for students with disabilities, in compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) of 2008.  No academically qualified student with a disability will be denied access to or participation in the services, programs, and activities of P&HCC.

Who Is Eligible?

You are eligible for disAbility Resources if you have a documented physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. To qualify for disAbility Resources, you must provide clear and specific evidence that 1) a qualified professional has established a formal diagnosis of a disability, 2) you have a history of a disability, or 3) you have a history of being regarded as having a disability. Review carefully the Guidelines for Documenting a Disability.

What Services Are Available?

The accommodations available to you will depend on the nature of your disability and resulting functional limitations and are determined on a case-by-case basis by the disAbility Resources Counselor, in consultation with the student.  For more information about P&HCC’s disAbility Resources, review the Accommodations and Services Available to P&HCC Students with Disabilities.
