Accommodations and Services

CCDE provides Academic Accommodations in conjunction with the Office of Specialized Services at Bergen Community College. Students must submit documentation according to deadlines and be deemed eligible for services. In addition to standard Accommodations, CCDE also offers:

Orientation

Students are encouraged to participate in the college wide new student orientation. However, in addition CCDE students are invited to attend accommodation orientations on access services on campus.

Priority Registration

All students with a documented hearing loss are eligible for Individual Registration Assistance (IRA). Students meet one on one with an academic counselor, at designated times throughout the year, to identify and compose a schedule that is conducive to each individual student's needs.

Tutoring services are accessible to all BCC students through the college's Learning Resource Center. Interpreters are provided upon student request, and when possible, tutors fluent in ASL are hired to work with students.
