The Joy of Learning
Kirsten completed a certificate in allied health preparation and an associate degree in behavioral science. She has nothing but good things to say about her CCV experience—the support from her advisors, the enthusiasm of her instructors, and most of all, the informal education she received from fellow students. “[I was] learning a lot about strength and resilience” from her peers, she said, “and just meeting some amazing people who didn’t take the typical go-straight-to-college-after-high-school [route]…these people had life experiences. There were parents, there were people from the military, there were people with health conditions such as myself, and they all just kind of had a joy about them too, to be learning. I just have so much respect for the student body.”
CCV is a great place to get started on the path to a rewarding, high-demand career in healthcare. The health science degree provides a flexible pathway into allied health occupations as well as advanced study in biological or health sciences. Certificates in allied health preparation, clinical medical assisting, community health, medical billing and coding, and pharmacy technician provide preparation for both clinical and administrative roles, and can be applied to the associate degree and further study in healthcare fields. Whatever path you choose, you’ll be well positioned for the workforce or further education.

All CCV students have access to small classes, part-time schedules, online courses, individual advisors, and online tutoring. CCV also welcomes all students and we strive to provide equal access to college courses for students with disabilities. If you need accommodations because of a disability that impacts your learning, it is your responsibility to take at least one of the steps below. It is recommended that you do this as soon as possible to allow for planning and preparation.
- Answer “yes” to the disability question on your CCV application.
- Complete the student self-disclosure form.
- Tell an accessibility advisor or accessibility support staff that you have a disability and you would like accommodations.
All CCV students have access to small classes, part-time schedules, online courses, individual advisors, online tutoring, and in-person academic mentoring. If you need accommodations, follow the steps below. Please begin the steps at least one month before classes start.
Frequently Asked Questions
What will happen after I submit a form or answer “yes” on the application?
You will receive an email with your next steps. These steps are the same as what you can find in this webpage.
Who will I talk to about this?
You will be assigned to work with an accessibility advisor who can help you with this process. This person will also be your academic advisor and support you in meeting your academic goals at CCV.
What if I do not know what accommodations I may need?
This is okay and is common, especially for first time college students. We will look at your documentation and talk with you about what has worked best for you in the past. Accommodations can also be updated and changed as needed when appropriate.
Can I bring someone to our meetings?
Absolutely.
Step 1: Learn about Accessibility Services at CCV
Learn more about accessibility services at CCV by reading our Accommodation Policy (compatible with screen readers).
If you had an IEP or 504 in high school, you may have some expectations for what accommodations look like in college. If so, we recommend that you review the following pdf document to clarify misconceptions or confusion about the process.
Differences between High School and College Accommodations (pdf)
Step 2: Gather Your Documentation
Collect any official paperwork that:
- states and describes your disability,
- explains how your disability may impact learning, and
- is from an authorized agency, individual, or appropriate medical source and includes the names, titles, and professional credentials of the evaluator(s) or professional who can verify the disability
- suggests reasonable accommodations (optional)
Examples of documentation include:
- doctor’s letter dated, signed and printed on office letterhead
- psychoeducational evaluation dated and signed by a psychologist
- complete report from high school (IEPs and 504 plans are sometimes incomplete)
Step 3: Submit Your Documentation to CCV
You may drop off, mail, email, or fax your documentation to the CCV center nearest you (please note – Springfield and Middlebury locations will not be able to process your documentation). An accessibility advisor will review your documentation in advance of your appointment with them.
Step 4: Schedule an Appointment to Create Your Accommodation Plan
Schedule an appointment by calling your local center to request a meeting with an accessibility advisor. During your appointment, we will discuss your requests. Together we will consider your interests, strengths and weaknesses, documentation, course requirements, and the reasonability of your requests. Using this information, we will create your accommodation plan.
Accommodation plans need to be renewed each semester. Please reach out to your accessibility advisor before the start of classes each semester. Accommodations cannot be applied retroactively.
Step 5: Share Your Accommodation Plan with Your Instructors
You may email or give your plan directly to your instructor. If you or your instructor have any questions, you may ask your accessibility advisor.
Step 6: Check in Regularly with Your Accessibility Advisor
By checking in regularly with your accessibility advisor you will be able to maximize the benefits of your accommodation plan. Throughout college, you’ll be able to:
- clarify learning preferences,
- develop and sharpen learning strategies,
- ask for help,
- use resources such as Tutor.com and learning centers,
- practice new ways to study and remember information, and
- confirm which accommodations serve you best.
