STUDENT SERVICES

As part of the admissions process, all incoming freshman planning to pursue a degree and any student wishing to take an English or mathematics course are required to take the Allegany College of Maryland Placement Assessment. Students should contact the Bedford County Campus’ Student Services Office at extension 6204 to schedule an appointment. Promoting student success, the College uses the assessment to place students in courses appropriate for them.

Through special arrangements by the instructor, students may take a classroom test in the Testing Lab. This service is intended for students with special testing needs and for students who were absent during a test due to unusual circumstances.

SPECIAL NEEDS/ACADEMIC ALERT

Students with disabilities are encouraged to contact the Student Services Office to discuss special needs. Students should make appointments at least six weeks prior to the semester to give the College time to respond to the requests. Documentation of disability must be provided by the student prior to registration. The College is committed to providing all otherwise qualified individuals access to higher education and inclusion in all areas of college life. The Student Services Office works with the entire College in providing reasonable accommodations and accessibility.

At risk students who are experiencing overwhelming concerns with grades, family, work/school conflicts, time management or stress related issues may seek assistance from the Student Services Office. Please ask for more information.
