At the University of California, Irvine, providing a culture of inclusion and equal opportunity for learners with disabilities is a campus wide responsibility. UCI is committed to providing a barrier free environment for learners. UCI Division of Continuing Education in cooperation with the Disability Services Center (DSC) provides reasonable accommodations to learners with qualifying and documented disabilities.
Accommodations vary and are designed to meet the disability-related needs of learners. Adequate disability documentation must be supplied by the learner and received by DSC before any accommodation requests can be considered.
We recommend learners register with the DSC 4-6 weeks in advance of the start of their course. Learners who need accommodations such as American Sign Language interpreting, real-time captioning, video captioning, taped textbooks, and adaptive computing technology must submit documentation and class information to the DSC as soon as possible since these accommodations may require up to 4-8 weeks of preparation time. Failure to do so may delay or in some cases preclude provision of certain accommodations.
