Students with disabilities who attend Los Angeles City College are expected to make measurable progress toward their educational goals and demonstrate the following levels of independence:

• The ability to negotiate the campus facilities independently or with the assistance of an attendant;
• The ability to take care of personal needs unassisted or to provide attendants; and the possession of a stable level of health in order to benefit from a full semester's work.

New students with disabilities requesting services are required to complete an OSS new student application and submit a professional certification of disability by an appropriate professional. Continuing students, if requesting services, must update their OSS application each semester in attendance.
