Student Handbook

The Disability Services Office is dedicated to meeting the academic needs of students with permanent or temporary disabilities. The goal of Disability Services is to assist students to overcome physical and educational barriers to allow equal access to the college’s regular programs and activities.

Any College of the Siskiyous student who has a documented disability and demonstrates a need for a service that is directly related to their educational limitations qualifies for the program's services. This handbook outlines the rights, responsibilities, and accommodation procedures students should be aware of. Please review this handbook thoroughly. You are responsible to know what your rights and responsibilities are. If you have questions, please call the Disability Services Office at (530) 938-5297, email: DS@siskiyous.edu, or come by our office. We are located on the Weed Campus, Eddy Hall 1.
