The NC Community College System is participating in a grant to provide information and training concerning accessibility issues, compliance guidelines and policies. The results of this initiative will be implemented statewide for use by all community colleges. Assistive technologies will be identified and training will be conducted to assist colleges in meeting these guidelines.

This project is a collaborative effort among Catawba Valley Community College, Blue Ridge Community College, and Surry Community College in partnership with the North Carolina Community College System.
