Do I Need To Renew My Services at the Beginning of Each Semester?

There is no need to come in and renew services once you have initially been approved.

• Once you are approved for accommodations, your Letter of Accommodation (LOA) will be found on your Workday profile.
  • You can access your LOA by clicking on View Profile and then clicking on Personal and Documents.
• Click on LOA, and you will be able to download or print a copy to provide your instructors.
  • For details, see the link below.

How Will I Receive Documents and Communication From the DRC?

Make sure to check your Owens Community College email throughout the semester on a regular basis for updates from not only the DRC, but also other offices on campus.

Remember, we cannot correspond through any other emails except for your official Owens email.

How Can I Get Started With Tutoring?

It is your responsibility to recognize your need for additional accommodations or other support services such as tutoring and counseling.

We do not provide 1:1 tutoring service in our office, but we can refer you to TRIO or the Learning Commons, where they have tutors available to meet your individual needs.

How Do I Receive the Necessary Materials and Equipment for My Accommodations?

If you have been approved for specific accommodations that require our attention, such as having textbooks read aloud or the use of a recorder to generate transcripts of your classes, please reach out to your accessibility specialist each semester in order to get the process started.

We have digital recorders that you can check out if that is an approved accommodation.

If you are deaf or hard of hearing and require specific accommodations such as Closed Captioning or Interpreting, please let us know before each semester.

When an interpreter is needed, we typically require three to five days to secure and set up services.

Any request less than the required time to secure an interpreter is not a guarantee that one will be available.
