Student with Disabilities:
ECC welcomes students with disabilities and is committed to supporting them as they attend college. If a student has a disability (visual, aural, speech, emotional/psychiatric, orthopedic, health, or learning), s/he may be entitled to some accommodation, service, or support. While the College will not compromise or waive essential skill requirements in any course or degree, students with disabilities may be supported with accommodations to help meet these requirements. The laws in effect at college level state that a person does not have to reveal a disability, but if support is needed, documentation of the disability must be provided. If none is provided, the college does not have to make any exceptions to standard procedures. All students are expected to comply with the Student Code of Conduct and all other college procedures as stated in the current College Catalog.

Procedure For Requesting Accommodations:
1. Go to B125 and sign release to have documentation sent to the college, or bring in documentation.
2. Attend an appointment that will be arranged for you with the ADA coordinator.
3. If you have questions, call 847-214-7220 (TTY 847-214-7392) or e-mail Annabelle Rhoades arhoades@elgin.edu
