Disability Services

Welcome to the Office of Disability Services (ODS)

The ODS seeks to assist disabled students in gaining equal access to all College programs.  Students with disabilities, academic and/or physical, are encouraged to report any accessibility needs to the ODS.

It is the responsibility of the student to inform the Office of Disability Services of any disability in order to receive accommodations. To request accommodations, once accepted, the student needs to read and complete the ODS Intake packet and return it to Stanley Sinkfield, Coordinator of Disability Services. When the student submits the ODS Intake packet, the student will be contacted and eligibility for services will be explored. It is also the student's responsibility to provide appropriate, current documentation that specifically substantiates any accommodation requested.

For more information on Disability Services at SGSC, contact Stanley Sinkfield, Disability Services Coordinator.
