To apply to OSD to receive disability related services,

please complete the following three steps:

Step 1. Complete your OSD online application.

You must have a valid AVC student ID number and AVC e-mail.

Step 2. Upload your disability verification, such as an Individual Education Plan (IEP), 504 Plan, Veterans Administration disability rating, a physician or a mental health professional diagnosis.

Step 3. Meet with a Disability Services Specialist for your intake appointment.

After submitting your application and uploading your documents, the OSD Director or a Disability Services Specialist will review your OSD online application and disability verification and will call you to set up an intake appointment** via in person, phone or Zoom.

** If there will be others in the room with you during your intake appointment, you will be asked to complete and submit a Privacy Waiver form. Document can be obtained from OSD Personnel. 

If you need any assistance with the application or uploading of documents you may contact us at OSD@avc.edu or 661-722-6360.

The Office for Students With Disabilities encourages students to be as independent and self-reliant as possible. We work closely with each student to assess their needs and provide those support services and accommodations that directly address a student's functional limitations as a result of their disability.
