FAQs

Disability Accommodations and Services Link  

The Disability Services for Students (DSS) office at CCRI recognizes disability as a form of cultural diversity and works to foster an inclusive environment for all students in the higher education community through education, awareness, and accessibility.

Students with disabilities who wish to request accommodations must self identify, communicate their needs to their Student Advisor and provide current and comprehensive documentation concerning the nature and extent of their disability. Because course requirements can vary greatly, students must communicate their needs to their Student Advisor and request accommodations on a quarterly basis.

Academic Skills Center

Disability Services has three primary goals:

• To provide support services and reasonable accommodations that allow all students equal access to Salve Regina programs, regardless of disability.
• To provide students with the opportunity to realize their full potential by developing self-awareness and self-advocacy skills.
• To provide students with general disability information and information about resources (local, state and federal) that can assist them in their academic and/or life goals.

Salve Regina is committed to providing students with disabilities equal and integrated access to all of its educational, residential, social and recreational programs. The Office of Disability Services, as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, ensures that students with disabilities receive appropriate accommodations and assistance in order to participate fully in University programs.

The College makes every effort to provide reasonable accommodations so that students can be ensured equal access and works to remove any barriers which may prevent this from happening.
Students with documented disabilities may register with the Office of Academic Services to request academic accommodations. The Assistant Director for Disability Services will discuss each student’s unique needs and help to determine the types of accommodations that are appropriate.

Disability Support Services (DSS) assists RISD students who have cognitive (learning), psychological and physical disabilities. In order to receive accommodations, students must be registered with DSS.
