Student Services
Student support services are the responsibility of your home college. Examples of these services include registration, advising, orientation, testing, assessment, tutoring, textbook purchase, and library usage. In some cases, a partnership between the home and teaching college may be necessary to address your certain needs. Examples of these services include advising for programs offered by the teaching college and library services such as specialized databases offered by the teaching college.

Accessibility Policy
This policy outlines the processes involved in making OCE courses available to students with disabilities at ILCCO member colleges. Accessibility is important because students with disabilities should have equal opportunity to enroll in any online course offered through the Online Course Exchange (OCE). The teaching college will be responsible for making its materials accessible to any student with a documented disability purchasing a seat through OCE. Reasonable accommodations to make course materials accessible will be provided to meet the specific needs of the student. Responsibilities of the student, home college, and teaching college are as follows:

  • Student Responsibilities
    The student must have provided appropriate documentation of a disability with his Home College’s office of disability services to be eligible for OCE accessibility services. It is the student’s responsibility to follow his Home College’s procedures for requesting accommodations in any online course, including the ones in which he will be requesting seats through OCE. It will be helpful to the Teaching College to know what assistive technologies, if any, the student uses when accessing online resources. It will be required that the student sign a release of information statement in order for the home college disability services staff to share information with the professional staff at the teaching college.
  • Home College Responsibilities
    The department of disability services at the Home College will contact its ILCCO champion to verify appropriate documentation has been received and inform him about accessibility and accommodation needs. The Home College champion will provide the Teaching College champion with the course the student would like to take online, and the accommodation needed at the time the seat is requested or as soon as possible as a pre-approved seat is filled with a student with a disability. In addition, he will provide the contact information of the Home College’s disability services staff familiar with the student’s particular needs. The Home College disability services staff is responsible for providing appropriate local services, such as special test administration.
  • Teaching College Responsibilities
    If the seat request is granted by the Teaching College, the Teaching College will work with its own disability services staff and the instructor to determine and implement the accommodations needed to make all of the course materials accessible. The instructor is responsible for following the policies of the Teaching College in addressing the student’s needs. The Teaching College will make every effort to complete accessibility and accommodation strategies in place at the beginning of the class or, if not possible, inform the student of plans to establish them. If additional information is needed or problems arise, the Teaching College will consult with the Home College’s office of disability services.
