Disability Support Programs & Services (DSPS)
The San Diego Community College's Disability Support Programs and Services (DSPS) provide services, counseling and courses to support students with disabilities in the achievement of their academic and vocational goals. This program promotes equal participation in credit and non-credit academic programs. Special courses for students with DSPS are offered at various locations.
DSPS was established to more fully accommodate the academic and support needs of students with disabilities as mandated by Section 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. The DSPS Offices at the colleges offer eligible students access to a variety of specialized support services and assistive equipment in a timely manner. These services are intended to assist students with disabilities to more successfully participate in all college and career programs and activities. Participation in DSPS is voluntary.
There is a DSPS Office at each of our colleges. Our Interpreting Services Office, the College 2 Career Program, and the WorkAbility III program reside at the district office.

The Interpreting Services Office, in conjunction with Disability Support Programs and Services (DSPS), provides services in State-supported activities and classes, and related academic requirements that are directly related to the student's educational process.
Typically, the deaf or hard-of-hearing students meet with the campus DSPS counselor to determine the appropriate communication access accommodations and the service requests are then handled by the Interpreting Services Office. Contact the DSPS Office on campus and request an appointment with a counselor to get started.
