PROCEDURES FOR REQUESTING ACCOMMODATONS

Student Rights/Health 

Updated Jul 2 2025
Students with disabilities who are enrolling in a full or part time class at Great Plains Technology Center and wish to request accommodations with their disabilities, must obtain a Request for Accommodation Form from their instructor, the Career Guidance Counselor located in Building #100, the Disability Services Coordinator, Building #100 (Comanche County Campus) or the Executive Director of Instructional Development (Tillman/Kiowa County Campus).  Should a student need accommodation for the assessments, which are done prior to class placement, the request for accommodations must be made at least two weeks prior to the assessment in order for reasonable accommodations to be made.  Completion of the necessary documentation is the responsibility of the student making the request and for notifying the Enrollment Secretary at the time of assessment scheduling.

Students with disabilities, who are enrolling in an Adult Career Development class of two weeks or longer duration and wish to request accommodations, must pick up a Request for Accommodations Form from the Student Resource Center. The student is responsible for providing a completed form to the Student Resource Center within one week in order for Great Plains Technology Center to have adequate time to arrange for reasonable accommodations.

Students with disabilities enrolling in a course which is shorter than two weeks in duration and wish to request accommodations must pick up a Request for Accommodations Form from the Student Resource Center in Building 100 and provide necessary documentation one week prior to the beginning of class in order to receive reasonable accommodations.

The disclosed disability must be documented by a qualified professional in a field related to the disability (i.e. a physician in the case of a physical disability, a psychologist or psychiatrist in the case of a mental illness) and be based on current evaluation information (within the past three (3) years). The request must be approved by Great Plains Technology Center’s staff prior to delivery of services.

Action on accommodations will be provided in a timely manner with regard to obtaining assistive technology and/or additional personnel, supplementary services, etc., and must be related to the documented disability.
