Disability Services
The Disability Services Office is currently working remotely to assist our students, their families, and our community. With guidance from state and local health officials to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus, there are no in-person services available and the campus has been closed. Rest assured, that Westchester Community College professionals are remotely working to continue to give you the level of service you expect and deserve! As you scroll down through this page, you will find the information that you need to be in contact with us. Please read the information carefully and send us an email or a voicemail. We will get back to you soon.
New Students, Plan Ahead!
