AccessAbility Center (Student Disability Services)
Our Mission
The AccessAbility Center (AAC) facilitates equal access and coordinates reasonable accommodations and support services for City College students with disabilities while preserving the integrity of academic standards. AAC strives to increase disability awareness among members of the community and ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Amended in 2008, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
AAC supports students with a wide range of disabilities including physical, learning, visual, hearing, and psychiatric disabilities, medical conditions, AD/HD, and temporary conditions and injuries. If you believe you could benefit from our services but are not sure if you qualify, please contact us to schedule an appointment to speak to a counselor. While students can request accommodations at any time, it is best to contact AAC as early as possible as some accommodations and services take time to implement.
AAC is a part of the Student Support Resources Cluster of the Division of Student Affairs.
Voter Registration
Under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993, AAC is an agency-based voter registration site. Voter registration application forms and information are available to all members of the City College community and students who meet with a counselor at AAC are offered the opportunity to register to vote. Please contact AAC for more information at 212-650-5913 or e-mail sds@ccny.cuny.edu. Voter registration information and application forms are also available at the website for the State Board of Elections of the State of New York.
