Stark State College provides assistance to students with disabilities in order to maximize educational opportunities and individual potential. The disability support services coordinator assists students with disabilities by providing academic support services; admissions procedures; financial aid information; and academic, personal and career counseling.

The campus includes many accessible features, such as adapted restrooms, electric doors, handicapped parking (by permit) and Braille tactual room signs. The College's disability support services coordinator, Kathy Bernstein, coordinates various services with academic and non-academic offices and serves as a liaison between the College community and state/local agencies.

Students must inform disability support services of their need for accommodations prior to the start of their coursework. Students must provide documentation of their disability, test reports and school records to help the disability support services coordinator provide appropriate academic accommodations and support services. A pre-admission interview prior to applying to the College is suggested.

Please call the Office of Admissions/Student Services at 330-966-5451 (voice or TDD) for information or to schedule an interview.
