Apply by clicking here.

Current Students & Testing

If you have already established accommodations with TCC, please remember to submit your request for letters to be sent to new instructors each semester. You may find the form here. Please send it to Brittany York if you have not yet done so. Once submitted, you and your instructor(s) will receive a copy.

If your accommodations are testing-related, your instructor will also need to fill out your Test Request Coordination Form (sent at the same time as your letter). This ensures you’ll have a proctor scheduled in the Testing Center for the dates in which you have a test/quiz. I will notify you of your proctor and testing time once received. If you have not heard from me within 10 days of your scheduled test, you should check with your instructor to ensure they’ve submitted the form.
