Welcome

The Office of Disability Services is committed to providing a welcoming and affirming environment for all students. We recognize the importance of intersectionality and the diverse experiences of all students and continuously build upon partnerships with Ocean County College faculty, staff, and students to ensure all aspects of student life are accessible, equitable, and inclusive of individuals with disabilities and access needs.

The Office of Disability Services is further committed to equalizing access to academic and/or environmental accommodations and providing support for qualified students with disabilities pursuing academic, personal, and professional goals. We strive to provide the necessary tools, support, and resources for students to become responsible decision-makers and self-advocates in charge of their own future.

Eligibility for accommodations and services is guided by the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (Section 504).
