It is the Carteret Community College’s policy to ensure that no qualified student with a disability is denied the benefits of, excluded from participation in, or otherwise subjected to discrimination in any college program or activity.

Procedure

Carteret Community College is committed to creating and maintaining information and communication technology and eLearning environments that are accessible to all faculty, staff, students, and the public. These environments include the College's computer and network access and services, electronically delivered or enhanced instruction, electronic library information resources and web applications, campus web sites and computer-delivered or assisted student and administrative services. For web content accessibility, the College has adopted the current federally required WCAG standards for public higher education institutions. To fulfill this commitment, the College will procure, develop, and deploy information and communication technology and eLearning resources and systems that are welcoming to, accessible to, and useable by everyone, including people with disabilities.
