The Coordinator of <strong>Student</strong> Support Services gathers the required paperwork for<br />
the Deaf/Blind tuition waivers. The student must bring the following information to<br />
be considered for a tuition waiver: certificate of deafness or blindness; letter of good<br />
moral character; high school transcript, diploma, or GED; statement of purpose<br />
with degree or certificate declared; proof of residency; and meet all other entrance<br />
requirements as outlined by Admissions and Records. This information should be<br />
provided to the ACCESS Office at least one (1) month before the student attends<br />
<strong>Collin</strong> <strong>College</strong>. <strong>Student</strong>s must notify the Coordinator of <strong>Student</strong> Support Services,<br />
in Room G-121 at SCC or 972.881.5128, immediately upon registering for classes<br />
each semester to obtain a tuition waiver, or their classes will be dropped. The Deaf/<br />
Blind tuition waiver does not apply to all courses and will be determined on a per<br />
course per semester basis. A tuition waiver is not an academic accommodation.<br />
All campuses are accessible to individuals with disabilities. For information on these<br />
and related services, contact the ACCESS Office at 972.881.5898 (Voice/TTy).<br />
ACCESS Offices are located in Rooms D118(I) at CPC, F-118 at PRC, and G-200 at<br />
SCC.<br />
