student has a learning disability and the most recent testing was prior to age
16, the student will be asked to seek more current testing and/or diagnostic
information. This is to ensure that any accommodations made by the College

Students with disabilities are entitled to reasonable accommodations at Ste-

meet with the Disability Services Coordinator, and together they will deter-

the demands of the course.
