The Office of Disability Services at Trenholm State Community College is a student-centered, nurturing unit serving as the central campus resource for students who wish to request academic accommodations. In collaboration with students and instructors, our staff coordinate accommodations and support to ensure that students have equal access to an education, campus resources and activities. Trenholm State Community College ensures compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and students seeking accommodations on the basis of disability are required to submit documentation of their disability to the Office of Disability Services. The Office of Disability Services is responsible for determining the acceptability of documentation and reserves the right to require additional information.
Students with disabilities may be eligible for services such as extended time to complete tests, use of assistive technology, tutoring, and individualized registration assistance. The College also has an ongoing partnership with state and private rehabilitation agencies, as well as with a variety of counseling service and outreach agencies to assist students with disability support services.
For information about accommodations and assistive technologies available to students with disabilities, please contact the ADA Coordinator by email at ada@trenholmstate.edu. or by phone at (334)420-4418.

The Office of Disability Services requires that all students requesting services provide thorough documentation of their disability from a qualified professional. Disability documentation should be current and relevant. A copy of the student’s IEP or 504 plan from high school is not sufficient documentation.
It is highly suggested that you keep your own personal copy of the documentation you submit to the Office of Disability Services. The Office of Disability Services does not release copies of documentation back to the student or send documentation to other institutions.
