DSS serves those with disabilities on all campuses
TCC provides support services for students defined as disabled under the Rehabilitation act of 1973 through the disability support services offices.
“ [DSS] levels the playing field for students,” Judy Kelley NE DSS coordinator, said. “Our purpose is to assist them without doing the work for them.”
Students in credit and non-credit classes are eligible to receive DSS services but need to provide proper documentation.
Documentation can come from a professional in education, medicine, disability services or psychology indicating a mental or physical impairment.
To ensure accommodations are available, students should contact DSS 20 business days before the start of class.
Service and accommodations include assisting with self-advocacy, appropriate accommodations, special testing accommodations, sign language interpreters, tutoring, note taking, access to assistive technology, student referrals to on-and-off campus resources and application information for taped and large-print books.

Centers give help to needy writers in campus labs
Writing centers are available on each campus to assist students with the basic concepts of writing.
The primary goal of each center is to assist students in becoming polished writers using the skills learned in their classes.
The centers provide assistance with topic selection, outlines, proofreading and MLA formatting.
The four campus centers offer different services in addition to writing tutorials, but all students wanting assistance should make an appointment and come prepared. The centers are available to provide help, not to do students’ work.
An individual wanting to use the labs’ services does not have to be enrolled in English or writing courses, but must be a TCC student.
All services are rendered free of charge.
