New Students: Getting Started

1. Self Identify
Contact the LSC-North Harris - Disability Services by phone 281.765.7940 or email:
NH-DSO@lonestar.edu and self-identify as a student with a disability.

2. Request Accommodations Online through VDAC
The LSC Virtual Disability Assistance Center (VDAC) is the Lone Star College cloud-based software hosting a secure location that will process and hold disability services requests for students with disabilities at all Lone Star College campuses.

3. Provide Documentation
Students are responsible for providing documentation of disability. Because K-12 and Higher Education laws differ, it is important to note that K-12 documentation may not fully satisfy LSC documentation requirements. Please contact the North Harris Disability Services office by phone 281.765.7940 or email NH-DSO@lonestar.edu to obtain further clarification on documentation that meets our guidelines.

4. Actively Engage
You matter! LSC expects students to actively participate in all discussions and decision-making about your accommodations. Stay engaged!

5. Please note that the intake process requires you to have completed the New Student Checklist and be registered for classes before scheduling a meeting with our Disability Services Provider to discuss class accommodations.

Returning Students: A New Semester

Lone Star College Policy states that students must identify themselves each semester as individuals requesting accommodations based on a qualifying disability. 

This is because the type of class (e.g., online, lecture) and the subject (e.g., Math, Art) are just a few items considered when developing accommodations. 

Once accommodation eligibilities are approved, LSC students log in to the Virtual Disability Assistance Center (VDAC) to select which eligibilities they will apply to each class.  

Log in to VDAC and renew accommodation requests today.
