ADA Compliance

As you work on creating or modifying an online course, be sure your course acknowledges the importance of and compliance with ADA requirements. Here are some suggestions:

• Introductory text within the course should indicate your willingness to assist the student and work with campus support services to provide the necessary accommodations to meet the special needs of the student.
• The course should include a statement that tells students how to gain access to ADA services (Access Services at JCCC).
• The course should provide information on JCCC’s support services (Counseling Center, Library, Help Desk, Access Services, and so on) and provide links and information to enable easy access to institutional resources that provide student support.
