Student Accessibility Services (SAS)
The Student Accessibility Service office supports students with temporary or permanent disabilities, ensuring equal access to all college programs and activities. The office offers accommodations such as extended test time, note-taking assistance, and assistive technology to help students succeed academically. Student Accessibility Services works closely with students and faculty to create a welcoming learning environment and remove barriers to education for students registered with the office.
We are committed to working with students with disabilities in order to provide academic accommodations in making Lake-Sumter State College an equal access, equal opportunity institution.
Applying for Accommodations
Students will need to register with the Student Accessibility Services (previously Office for Students with Disabilities – OSD) in order to receive disability accommodations.
