Services for Students with Disabilities
Atlanta Technical College provides program accessibility and reasonable accommodations to individuals covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, Section 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Special services assistance is designed to provide a comprehensive program of supportive services to individuals with disabilities. Qualified students who have a legally defined disability and wish to request accommodations must first register with the Office of Disability Services and provide documentation that describes its effect on their ability to perform in an academic environment.
