• Quiet study space, including computers, course materials, books, and staff assistance for all students.
• Accommodations and related supports for students with learning disabilities.
• Opportunities to retake tests upon scheduling an appointment.
• Support to help students reach completion and improve their organizational skills.
• Custom tailored services to provide support for both online and on-the-ground NECI students.

Learning Needs & Accommodations

NECI complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the requirements of the State of Vermont. NECI is committed to maintaining a nondiscriminatory environment and to providing reasonable equal access to all its services, benefits, and facilities, regardless of the physical or cognitive disabilities a student may have.

Prospective and current students with questions or requests regarding disabilities and accommodations will need to contact your Department Chair in order to begin the intake process – including a review of appropriate documentation of the disability and accommodations request, as well as an interview to review approved supports and accommodations.

NECI is committed to working with students to arrive at workable solutions to support their particular needs. It is critical for students needing certain services to discuss their needs with us as soon as they make their decision to attend NECI, so that there is adequate time to develop and implement appropriate services.
