Students with disabilities who have completed their registration with DSPS, need to request disability accommodations and services each semester by meeting with a DSPS Counselor for an Accommodation Letter to be issued. We encourage you to plan ahead, and meet with a DSPS Counselor at the beginning of a semester.
Schedule an Appointment
DSPS is currently helping students with disabilities schedule appointments with DSPS staff by phone, email, and by students stopping by DSPS.

Requesting Accommodations
Students need to make a request for reasonable disability accommodations each semester,
by meeting with a DSPS staff.
Accommodations can be requested at any point during the semester. DSPS generally is
not able to go back in time. DSPS is always moving forward!
After the request has been made by students to DSPS, the instructors for classes and
department directors will be notified of the request for accommodations, as applicable
to the disability accommodations and services a student is eligible for, when DSPS
emails the student’s Accommodation Letter. If students add classes or change sections,
students are responsible for meeting with DSPS for additional Accommodation Letters
to be sent.
In order to test in the DSPS lab, the appropriate accommodation must be established
for that semester/course. Testing requests must be received 3-5 days prior to the
exam/quiz. All requests must be emailed to dspstesting@hartnell.edu.
Temporary disability accommodations may be approved by DSPS, based on professional
judgment, and history of services on a case-by-case basis.
