the Disability Certification Packet. The disability documentation that each student submits provides an important foundation from which to begin discussion about the kinds of resources and accommodations that might be appropriate. However, these reports give only one small part of the picture. Joint discussion and creative problem solving are emphasized when accommodations are generated. Students are expected to take the lead role in discussion about accommodations and their disability; but, when appropriate, they can invite additional interested parties into the conversation. Where To Submit Disability Documentation: Office of ADA Transition Services Elston Hall, Room 222 Schenectady County Community College 78 Washington Avenue Schenectady, NY 12305 Fax: (518) 381-1477 When To Register With ADA Transition Services: Students are encouraged to register for accommodations with the Office of ADA Transition Services upon admission to SCCC. However, sometimes disability-related barriers are not discovered until after coursework has begun. Students should not hesitate to contact the office to discuss accommodations at any point in time if they begin to realize that accommodations may make their classes more educationally accessible to them. Emergency Evacuation Information: All students who require some form of assistance during fire drills or other times of potential evacuation are strongly encouraged to register with the ADA Transition Services Office even if classroomrelated accommodations are not appropriate for them. SCCC recognizes that there are a variety of situations that can impact safe evacuations, such as orthopedic injuries and a lack of elevator access as well as panic attacks that may lead to confusion about procedure. The ADA Transition Coordinator collaborates with all students registering with the ADA Transition Services Office to determine strategies that can address any likely evacuation issues that a person might confront. This evacuation assistance information is listed on the faculty notification letters along with any other accommodations that may be appropriate for the student. Voter Registration Assistance : Voter registration assistance is offered to students registered with the Office of ADA Transition Services.
