Center for Access and Advocacy

The Center for Access and Advocacy (CAA) has offices on the Heritage, Windward and Oso Creek campuses.
The CAA is committed to providing students with supports in three main areas:

  • Providing access to classes for students with any disabilities that interfere with learning – some examples may be ADHD, sight impairment, Anxiety, Dyslexia etc.
  • Helping students who have a gpa below 2.0 raise it and regain Good Scholastic Standing
  • Connecting students with resources – both on and off campus referrals – when life gets in the way of staying in classes

Another way to describe the CAA is that we are student – centered advocates who collaborate
and listen in order to guide students toward pursuing personal, professional and academic goals.

 

Some students are more familiar with Disability Services and Retention Services,
but we have changed our department names to reflect why students should come to our office.
