Interactive Process

Disability Support Services (DSS) is the BHCC office responsible for determining and coordinating reasonable academic accommodations for students with documented disabilities. DSS works collaboratively with students and faculty to ensure equal access to courses and programs.  

The interactive process is a collaborative conversation between the student and DSS to determine reasonable accommodations based on documented disability-related access needs. Faculty play a key role in the interactive process by participating in the implementation phase after DSS has approved accommodations and issued a Student Accommodation Letter. Faculty are welcome to reach out to DSS regarding any questions or concerns about a student’s accommodations.
