Our job is to see that everyone has an equal opportunity for a successful college experience. We work with you to deliver needed resources and support to help you meet your goals.
In accordance with section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, we work with students to develop an accommodation plan for physical, psychological, learning or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life function. Students are responsible for identifying themselves to Student Disability Services and providing documentation on needs and course requirements.
Greenville Technical College is committed to providing an accessible community to students, faculty, staff as well as visitors. The college will continue to strive to ensure equal accessibility to all individuals with disabilities.
If you find issues that affect accessibility, please let us know by completing the Accessibility Barrier Reporting Form.
If you need immediate assistance or have difficulty completing the form, please contact Student Disability Services, at (864) 250-8408 or by email at DisabilityServices@gvltec.edu.
Greenville Technical College provides faculty and staff with extensive training in student disability services to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment for students with disabilities.
Beginning at New Faculty and Staff Orientation, the legal obligations of the college to students with disabilities are outlined along with the support and services available to assist with appropriate accommodations.
Ongoing training and support are provided through the Professional Development program at the college. Periodic sessions on specific topics are offered including: Providing Appropriate Classroom Accommodations for Students with a diagnosed disability, Working with Students with Hearing Loss and How to work with and Interpreter, as well as Emerging Trends in Assistive Technology.
Departmental trainings are developed to address specific issues related to providing program accessibility in academic areas and individual programs. Effective ways to include and accommodate students are discussed, and faculty are provided with the support needed to enhance the success of each student.
New students must complete an Intake Form as a first step. Returning students who have already registered with the Student Disability Services office should call or come by the office to arrange for accommodations as needed.
