• learning to become their own advocates by talking with their professors about their disability and the
accommodations they require

It is the responsibility of the student to identify himself or herself as disabled upon entrance to the College, by notifying the Center for Students with Disabilities. Since each type of disability varies, the documentation needed by the CSD office will also vary. Individuals needing accommodations are strongly encouraged to contact the Center for Students with Disabilities, located in Building U. The Center can be reached by voice telephone at 516-572-7241 or TTY at 516-572-7617. The Center is partially funded by a TRIO Grant through the U. S. Department of Education.
