Center for Accessibility (CFA)

CFA Logo At Atlantic Cape, we are committed to providing a welcoming, encouraging, and empowering environment for students with disabilities. The Center for Accessibility (CFA) was created to ensure equal access to all phases of campus life, enhance academic success, and provide reasonable accommodations for all students with documented disabilities on an individual basis. The CFA team is committed and ready to assist students with disabilities to reach their academic goals.

The CFA is responsible for coordinating support services, reasonable academic accommodations, and promoting disability awareness at Atlantic Cape and in the community at large. Academic accommodations are determined based on documentation submitted by the student. The office also provides access to assistive technology equipment and services. All services are free of charge.
