Services for Students with Disabilities

If you have a documented medical, learning, or psychological disability—or suspect that you might—you should visit Services for Students with Disabilities to discuss ways that their office can help you in your academic endeavors at John Carroll. Services for Students with Disabilities can provide you with referrals to specialists in the Cleveland area. They can assist eligible students in developing and requesting accommodations from instructors and staff; some examples include: note takers, extra time for exams, testing in a quiet room, priority registration, and residence hall modifications, moving classes to minimize travel, assistive listening devices, and large print.
