 What
is the Goal of the Special Services Program?
The
goal of the Special Services program is to offer equal
opportunity education for students who have disabilities,
either physical or learning related, international students,
and students in need of remedial instruction.
Learning Disabilities
How does The Learning Center help these students? The Director of
The Learning Center works to provide assistance through many different
venues, including our Tutoring program (see Academic
Assistance - link), working in affiliation with a
local learning center, and special learning environment
arrangements. The staff at The Learning Center often works with
the student and individual professors to make sure
the learning environment is accommodating a specific
disability.
What should
I do as a student, or future student, if I struggle
with a learning disability?
First of all,
be willing to talk to your individual professors
about your specific disability. Faculty are more than willing
to work with each student to improve their learning
environment. Also, contact The Learning Center at the phone number
or e-mail address listed below. We will request documentation
(tests, assessments, etc.) of your learning disability
to keep on file in our Center in order to help you
more effectively.
Physical Disabilities
A variety of accommodations are available for any student
with a physical disability. If you need such accommodations, please inform your Admissions
Counselor and note it on your application. Please be specific as
to the kinds of accommodations you may need, such
as a notetaker if you have a visual or auditory disability.
We want to do all we can to give you an opportunity
to succeed here at Grace College. If you have any
further questions before coming to campus or once
you arrive, please contact The Learning Center and we will assist you with any concerns you
may have.
International Students
Grace College appreciates the global diversity that international students bring to our campus. Students coming to Grace from different cultures will be provided assistance from the Minority Education Liaison to familiarize the students with the campus offices and support available to them.
If you are in need of more information, please call
(574) 372-5100 ext. 6421 or e-mail:elliskd@grace.edu.
