Collin College Disability Services

The Accommodations at Collin College for Equal Support Services, or ACCESS, is in charge of ensuring students with disabilities are provided their accommodations.

Dual credit courses are college courses, so the student must comply with a college’s disability guidelines. 

In most instances, if the class is taken at a high school campus, the high school will implement the accommodations that are approved by Collin College. However, if the course is at a Collin College campus, then the college will provide the accommodations.

Steps to Applying for Accommodations

Step 1
Have your Cougar Web ID (CWID) available. This is the 9-digit number you received by email after you applied to Collin College.

Step 2
Complete and submit the application. Upload your documentation (such as a 504 plan) with this application, or email your documentation to ACCESS_Documentation@collin.edu.

Step 3
A representative from the Collin College ACCESS office will contact you via your Collin College email address or phone to discuss the requested accommodations

Step 4
You will log onto CougarWeb each semester to send accommodation letters electronically to your professors (instructions will be provided).

How does college differ from high school disability services?

• Students must seek out disability services and request them each semester.

• Modifications are not provided, only reasonable accommodations.

• Services are optional and not mandatory.

• No accommodations are provided without self-disclosure and supportive documentation.

• Parents have limited involvement, and only at the written consent of the student.
