General Information
Welcome to Disabled Students Programs and Services (DSPS) at Yuba College!
Disabled Students Programs and Services (DSPS) provides support services and academic accommodations to ensure access for students with disabilities consistent with the educational offerings and mission of Yuba College.
Legal Mandates
DSPS Services are guided by state and federal civil rights laws including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990( ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. These legal mandates support the provision of reasonable academic accommodations for qualified students to have access to, and benefit from, the full range of educational programs and activities at Yuba College.
Your Rights
As a college student with a documented disability, you have the right to “reasonable accommodations based upon your educational limitations” under Title 5 of the California Education Code and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Provisions of the law state that “No otherwise qualified person with a disability in the Unites States shall, solely by reason of disability, be denied the benefits of, be excluded from participation in, or be subject to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”
Our Mission
The mission of Disabled Students Programs and Services (DSPS) is to promote and support access to classes, programs, and facilities at Yuba College, thereby offering students with disabilities the opportunity to participate fully in the mainstream educational experience. DSPS is committed to the establishment of a positive learning environment that is achieved, in part, through the provision of services and academic accommodations designed to meet the specific, individual needs of students with disabilities.
