Welcome to Disability Services at Greenfield Community College!

Greenfield Community College is an affirmative action/equal opportunity institution committed to access, equity, and inclusion for all students. We recognize that every student is unique, and some may need accommodations to fully participate in our academic programs and campus services.

If you had an IEP or 504 Plan in high school, have a physical, psychological, or learning disability, or are deaf or hard of hearing, we encourage you to connect with our office. All contact with Disability Services is confidential and will not appear in your official college records.

Step 1:  Complete the intake form

To begin the process, please complete our Voluntary Statement of Learning Needs form.

Once completed, we recommend submitting it securely online. However, you may also submit the form by email, fax, mail, or in person.

The information you provide on this form helps us better understand your needs and ensures important details aren’t overlooked during our conversation.

Step 2:  Submit documentation related to your disability

Please provide your most recent disability documentation before your appointment, if possible. This allows our staff time to review your materials and prepare for your meeting.

For documentation requirements, visit our Guidelines for Documenting a Disability.

If you do not currently have supporting documentation, you may still be eligible for accommodations based on the information you share with us.

All documentation received by Disability Services is confidential and is held in accordance with FERPA regulations.

Here are some examples of documentation that can support your request for accommodations:

• Educational and Psychological evaluations
• Individual Educational Plan (IEP) or 504 Plan
• A letter or report from a healthcare provider clearly stating your diagnosis
• GCC’s Disability Verification Form

Step 3:  Schedule a one-hour intake appointment

To schedule your initial appointment, call (413) 775-1332 or email DisabilityServices@gcc.mass.edu

We strongly encourage you to connect with Disability Services before the semester begins to ensure that your accommodations are in place when classes start. Some accommodations—such as sign language interpreters, captioning services, or braille materials—require advance planning and may take time to coordinate.

For additional information or general questions, contact our office at (413) 775-1332 or email DisabilityServices@gcc.mass.edu.
