At Mission College, we are dedicated to providing equitable access and opportunities for all students, including those with documented disabilities. The Disability Support Programs and Services (DSPS) program ensure that students with physical, psychological, and learning disabilities can fully participate in all aspects of college life, helping to remove barriers and create an inclusive environment where everyone can succeed.
Joining DSPS gives you access to the tools and support needed to excel academically and personally. We offer tailored accommodations and services designed to minimize the effects of your disability and maximize your potential. Whether you're new to DSPS or need ongoing assistance, we are here to help you succeed. Here's why you should consider joining:
Once you join DSPS, we’ll provide a range of accommodations and services to support your academic success:
Students with disabilities with one or more major life activities are eligible for DSPS services. Disabilities may include:
The Mission College Academic Accommodation Plan (AAP) is a confidential document outlining a student’s accommodation or adjustments approved to support the student in a course. Students will be able to access their AAP after their DSPS Intake through our online DSPS portal AIM.
DSPS students are responsible for sending their AAP to their instructors for each course for each semester. Students can notify their instructors of their accommodations through our online DSPS portal AIM. We recommend students send their accommodations at least 1 week before the semester starts.
Please contact DSPS for support accessing your accommodations or sending your accommodations
to your instructors.
Please Note: Accommodations are not retroactive. While students can apply for or send
their accommodations anytime during the semester, please keep in mind accommodations
begin only after you have completed the DSPS New Student Intake process AND you have
sent out your accommodations to your instructors.
If you have been approved for E-text or other alternative formats such as enlarged text or braille, you can make a request through our online DSPS Student Services Portal - AIM.
If you have any questions about alternate media, please contact Mary Ann Caliva at [email protected].
Resources for Students and Families
Food, financial, technology, counseling, mental health, and other kinds of assistance
are available through Basic Needs.
