Greenfield Community college values inclusion and equal access to its programs and activities and is committed to fostering an environment of respect and full participation. Our goal is to create learning environments that are equitable, inclusive, and welcoming. If there are aspects of the instruction or design of this course that result in barriers to your inclusion or accurate assessment or achievement, please notify the instructor as soon as possible. If you are a student with a disability and may need reasonable academic accommodations, please contact the Office of Disability Services.

Early identification and interventions will help you realize your goal to succeed in this program. Some accommodations might require additional assessment and significant lead time to obtain. Failure to pursue accommodations promptly might necessitate deferral of enrollment or negatively impact a student’s ability to succeed in the program.

Please note that accommodations reasonable for a classroom setting may not be reasonable for a clinical practice setting. Reasonable accommodations are adjustments or modifications of course/program requirements that 1) do not fundamentally alter the nature of the course/program, and 2) do not compromise patient safety, health, and well-being.

If a nursing student requires a learning accommodation of any kind, has concerns about a course, or has other related issues, the student should make an appointment with their instructor or advisor as early in the semester as possible. Nursing students with accommodations are responsible for obtaining and submitting their special accommodation form from Disability and Accessibility Services to the course coordinators at a minimum of 24 hours before the accommodation is necessary. Students may need to inform clinical instructors of any accommodation needed during clinical participation. Students can also contact the Coordinator of Disability Services for further information regarding learning accommodations.
