Welcome to College of the Redwoods

Congratulations!  You have decided to continue your education at College of the Redwoods.  We’re glad that you’re here.  This department is an important partner in your success.

What does DSPS offer me?  Educational support services and special instruction are designed to help you to be successful in the degree and certificate classes offered by the college. Programs, services and special class availability may vary at each of the College of the Redwoods campus locations.

Who is eligible?  Students with verified disabilities enrolled in college courses are eligible to receive accommodations intended to increase access to education.

Who needs to know about my disability?  Information about your disability is considered confidential.  It is, with your written permission only, discussed with college instructors when we are discussing your accommodation needs or with rehabilitation or medical professionals who may speak with us.

How do I begin?  Call the DSPS Office on your campus to make an appointment with a DSPS Counselor/Advisor.  Please bring a verification of disability with you, or the name and address of a professional who can verify your disability.
