GSC Student Disabilities Services
The Academic Support Center, located in the Robert F. Kidd Library at Glenville State College, is committed to providing quality services to students with unique needs in the acquisition of their educational goals. In accordance with that commitment, we offer this brief overview of the services provided by the Student Disability Services program to facilitate a better understanding of who we are, what we do, and how to access and utilize the program.
The college offers a wide range of services and accommodations to students with disabilities. The Director of the Academic Support Center works with students to individualize the type and level of accommodations provided to them. Accommodations, services and equipment may be provided on an "as-needed" basis. All services are individualized to meet the needs of each student served. Equipment currently on hand includes:
- A computer system with an enhanced monitor for students with visual impairments
- Automated spell checkers for students with learning disabilities
- Tape recorders for listening to taped textbooks
- Copying facilities to enlarge images and text
