  • CCC Chancellor's Office Legal Opinion for use of  DSP&s funds
    "The state funds Disabled Student Programs and Services (AAC) to offset the direct excess cost to community college districts of providing such services. However, AAC funds can only be used to serve students with disabilities who are enrolled in State supported activities. Therefore, support services for students with disabilities who are enrolled in community services must be funded from student fees or other college resources. While the need for accommodations should be assessed on an individual basis, it may be advisable to establish general policies and procedures for providing support services to students with disabilities in community services programs."
