Section Two: Using Disability Services and Accommodations
General Accommodations
Specialized Equipment Loan
Students can borrow specialized equipment essential to access course requirements. Since loans are made for a temporary period, students are encouraged to purchase their own equipment when possible.
The following specialized equipment is available:
- digitaltape recorders
- Daisy players
- portable closed circuit print enlargers
- assistive listening devices
- manual wheelchair
- talking calculator
The state of California has a program to loan BrailleNote equipment which De Anza can participate in on an as needed basis. See your DSS counselor.
Steps to follow to borrow equipment:
- See your counselor/advisor.
- Sign an Equipment Loan form that describes the loan conditions and the equipment and accessories on loan.
Guidelines
- Guidelines for borrowing equipment vary depending on the type of equipment borrowed.
- The Loan form will specify the return date and the policies for borrowing equipment.
- If a student fails to follow the guidelines, any future borrowing maybe affected or college records held.
- You may be asked to replace damaged or lost equipment.
