Advocacy and Accessible Learning Center

New College of Florida strives to afford people with disabilities equal opportunity and full participation in all aspects of college life. To that end, it is the policy of New College of Florida to provide equal admission opportunities and make reasonable accommodations to aid students with disabilities in independent living and self-sufficiency as required by law. It is a high priority of New College of Florida to offer individualized support services to assist students with overcoming barriers to success.

The Accessible Learning Center (ALC), located in Hamilton Classroom Building 003, leads the coordination of intervention services and resources for all students in the event that they are facing a personal emergency or crisis. In these situations, the AALC serves as an advocate for students and also partners with them to develop self-advocacy skills.

The ALC assists students with accommodation requests for their academics, housing, and meal plan. Success strategies and accommodations include but are not limited to extended time on examinations, assistive technology training, alternate formats for printed materials, and the services of interpreters.

Students with disabilities are eligible to apply for annual financial awards from the Johnson Scholarship Foundation.
