Faculty members are responsible for providing accommodations requested for the student through AIM, but are also required to maintain the fundamental requirements of their course for ALL students. Contact SAS for guidance if you feel an accommodation may alter the fundamentals of a course.

Please contact sas@ycp.edu if you have any questions.

Students who would like to request an accommodation should begin the process by filling out the Student Accessibility Services Accommodation Request Form, which is available through the AIM system. All information in this application will be kept confidential. 

If you need to access any of our information in an alternate format, please contact Student Accessibility Services at 717.815.1717 or sas@ycp.edu.

The AIM system is used to manage all information and communication related to students' accommodation requests. Students may use AIM to submit their accommodation request form, upload related documentation, schedule testing, or make an appointment with Student Accessibility Services. 

The Testing Center in York College's Student Accessibility Services Department provides a state-of-the-art, comfortable test-taking environment for students with a variety of accommodation needs. Testing appointments may be scheduled through the AIM system. 

To contact the Testing Center, please email sastest@ycp.edu or call 717.815.2047.

Student Accessibility Services staff are here to help, whether you need guidance in obtaining accommodations or want to discuss your options. Our offices and Testing Center are housed on the bottom floor of the Humanities Center, conveniently located in the center of the College's Main Campus. 

To schedule an appointment, email sas@ycp.edu or call 717.815.1717.
