Resources
Request an Accommodation
Please report access barriers you encounter, either physical or electronic, such as an inoperative elevator or wheelchair lift, bicycles blocking an access ramp, drifting snow, or inaccessible documents on websites or electronic information in classrooms that is not accessible, so the College can remove those barriers as quickly as possible.
Staff & Faculty Accessibility Training
Understanding internationally accepted accessibility guidelines and federal requirements and knowing who has pioneered a truly accessible campus are key in this endeavor.
NIC has several resources to help guide you in building, testing and ensuring equal access.
