Office of disAbility Services

At Crowder College, we believe that students should have equal access to higher education and all of the experiences that encompass college life. Our Office is here to assist students with disabilities as they pursue their Crowder College success.

provide information about the legal rights and responsibilities of students
with disabilities as they transition from high school to institutions of
postsecondary education: a Dear Colleague letter and a Dear Parent
letter. To view the letters, click here:
