Who coordinates accommodations for online students with disabilities at Broward College?

• A. The campus bookstore
• B. The student’s personal doctor
• C. Disability Services
• D. The IT Help Desk

Answer: (C)

Disability Services coordinates accommodations for online students with disabilities. This office reviews each student’s documented needs, determines what accommodations are reasonable and supported, and works with instructors and the online learning system to put those supports in place. They handle practical steps like arranging extended time on online exams, providing accessible formats, ensuring captioning or sign language support when needed, and helping students use assistive technology. They also guide students on how to submit documentation and obtain official accommodation letters that inform instructors about required supports, so accommodations apply across courses and remain consistent.

The campus bookstore handles books and course materials, not accommodations. The student’s personal doctor provides medical care but does not organize campus-wide supports. The IT Help Desk handles technical issues with devices and software, not the coordination of disability accommodations.
