The North Carolina Community Colleges collaborate with faculty, staff, and students to make the college experience accessible to everyone. Our expertise is at the intersection of disability and design, and so we work with all campus community members to ensure that physical, curricular, and web environments are designed to be barrier-free to the extent possible. We work directly with students to determine accommodations when barriers cannot be removed in a timely manner. Providing access is a collaborative effort engaging the colleges disability services, students, and the faculty/staff.

The NC Community College System seeks to empower all individuals in our community by providing accessible lifelong learning. We are committed to supporting and assisting students in achieving their educational goals. At each institution, the Special Populations Office partners with other departments in order to ensure access to education and services offered to all students.
