Disability Support Services

A MESSAGE TO ALL NEW STUDENTS:

 If you need disability accommodations make sure you fill out and send in a disclosure form, plus appropriate documentation (forms for medical and psychological are to the left; testing reports should be sent in complete)

Disability Support Services supports the College's commitment to maintaining equal access to classes, programs, and the physical environment, providing reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. Come join our family!

Disability Support Services is housed in the Higgins Academic Center, named in memory       
of Patrick John Higgins, a 1990 alumnus of  Randolph-Macon College.  Because of
Patrick's struggle with dyslexia during college, family and friends agreed to support academic services through the Patrick John Higgins Memorial Fund, which provides services for students registered with the Office of Disability Support Services (DSS).


If you have a physical, psychological, or learning disability that requires an accommodation, please complete the following steps:

1. Register with the Office of Disability Services. 2. Provide recent (usually within 3 years) and relevant documentation of the disability, and how it impacts you. 3. Arrange a meeting with Jack Trammell, Director of Disability Support Services, to implement your accomodation(s).

If you would like to make a confidential contact to ask a question about DSS, either email DSS@rmc.edu,
call 804.752.7343, or visit the Higgins Academic Center at 204 E. Patrick Street.

Tutoring and mentoring services are offered to promote academic excellence and provide academic support to all students at the College.  As a center for teaching and learning, and advised by the Higgins Fellows, the Higgins Academic Center serves as a repository, clearinghouse, and sponsor for resources and programming on professional teaching techniques, academic strategies, and other research-based educational resources.  Support to students and faculty is available in all areas of Instruction, as well as in Writing Across the Curriculum, Speaking Across the Curriculum, and Instructional Technology.
