Glendale Community College

Center for Students

with Disabilities

Welcome to the Instructional Assistance Center (IAC)

Mission Statement 

It is the purpose of the IAC to provide support to Glendale Community College students with disabilities who want to be successful in college.  We work to assure that our students are given an equal opportunity to prove they can earn an education. 

The IAC offers three primary areas of service: 

1.      LD Assessment – There are students for whom earning an education is a constant struggle.  They can’t understand how it is they can study so hard, and then not earn the test grades they feel they deserve.  They know they are intelligent, because there are other things they can do very well.  By completing the LD assessment, students gain a greater understanding of the way they process information.  They learn if there are specific areas that are causing them difficulty, and how to compensate for those difficulties.  It may be determined from the assessment that the student is eligible to receive support services from CSD and the IAC. 

2.      Test Proctoring – Some students are entitled to receive test accommodations, such as extra time or the use of a word processor.  Most faculty do not have the time or resources to determine which accommodations are appropriate or who should receive them. The IAC provides test proctoring as a service to the faculty, as well as the students. 

3.      Tutoring – Students who want assistance with a math or English class on an ongoing basis may sign up for St Dv 143.  The IAC has two full-time professionals on staff to provide academic support.  Students may also work with a Learning Specialist whenever they need suggestions on how to study for a specific class.
