How to request services

Students with disabilities who enroll at Otero College are encouraged to meet with the Accessibility Services Coordinator (ASC) to discuss their needs, the barriers they experience, reasonable accommodations to address the barriers, and next steps. The process to register for services is simple:

1. Submit the appropriate Application for Accommodations

Choose from the applications listed below. The application gathers initial information to establish your need for support.

Academic accommodations can range from assistive technology in class to testing accommodations. Find the a full list of academic accommodations offered at Otero here. Non-academic accommodations can include service animals, emotional support animals, dietary restrictions and on-campus housing accommodations. As a student, you will be required to submit documentation of your disability. See our “Documentation Guidelines & Requirements” section to better understand why we ask for documentation.

2. Meet with Accessibility Services

The Accessibility Services Coordinator will contact you by phone or email within 1 to 3 business days of receiving the application to schedule an intake appointment. You can also schedule an appointment through Navigate, or by contact the Accessibility Services Coordinator at (719) 384-6963 or otero-accessibility@otero.edu. After meeting with the Accessibility Services Coordinator, students will receive a follow-up notification to their student email, and a Letter of Accommodation (LOA) will be sent to instructors (if applicable) within 2-3 business days. We know that questions, challenges, and concerns may arise. We are happy to answer any follow-up questions. The sooner students contact us to address a concern, the more time there is available to resolve it.

Continuing Services

To continue services between semesters, students with disabilities must submit the appropriate Continuing Services form listed below. Students must then meet with Accessibility Services. The coordinator will contact you by phone or email within 1 to 3 business days of receiving the application to schedule an intake appointment. You can also schedule an appointment through Navigate, or by contacting the Accessibility Services Coordinator.
