Accessible Education Center

Ability Reimagined

The Accessible Education Center (AEC) at Gavilan College provides programs, services and support to help students with disabilities succeed in school. We strive to equalize student educational opportunities and improve access so that every student can participate fully in all aspects of college programs and activities.

If you have a verified disability and need academic modifications or services, we are here to help you move toward your goals. Please come by the AEC (we’re in Library 117) and see what we can do for you!

How to Get Started with Accommodations

	Complete the AEC Application.
	Provide current disability-related documentation.
	Attend a AEC counseling appointment to discuss appropriate accommodations based on your disability.
	Once you receive your Academic Accommodations Plan, you must request your services through the appropriate AEC staff.
	In addition to receiving services, you are also encouraged to communicate with each of your instructors. We can help you or your instructor with any questions that may arise.
