Services & Accommodations Accessibility at GCC The College has accessible facilities, including elevator services, bathroom facilities, a videophone for Deaf and hard of hearing students (located on the fourth floor balcony in the Core outside of the Wellness Center), accessible drinking fountains, and automatically opening doors. Faculty, staff, and students should familiarize themselves with the accessible entrances for persons with disabilities in all buildings. Request Accommodations Our office works to ensure access for students with disabilities by developing and coordinating accommodations. Please be aware that there may have been accommodations and services you received when you were in high school that would not qualify as reasonable accommodations in college. Accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis according to each student's diagnostic documentation. New students, start here to request accommodations. If you have an existing accommodation, have questions about either the content or implementation of your Accommodation Agreement, or would like to request copies, please schedule a meeting with the Coordinator of Disability Services by calling (413) 775-1332 or by stopping into the Wellness Center.
