Center for Accessibility (CFA)

We're Here to Help You Succeed

At Atlantic Cape, we want every student to feel welcome, supported, and empowered—especially students with disabilities. The Center for Accessibility (CFA) is here to make sure you have equal access to campus life and the tools you need to succeed in your classes.

If you have a documented disability, our team can help set up accommodations tailored to your needs, connect you to helpful resources, and offer assistive technology at no cost. We’re also here to answer questions and be a supportive resource throughout your college experience.

Let us know how we can help you reach your goals.

How Can I Receive an Accommodation?

To be considered for an accommodation, we first need to receive documentation of your diagnosis and recommended accommodation(s). Examples include an IEP, 504 form or documentation from a medical professional on official letterhead or prescription. 

You can either email it to us at cfa@atlanticcape.edu, drop it off at the Mays Landing campus, Building J, office 123, or send it via regular mail to us.

Email the Center for Accessibility

 Once we review your documentation, an intake invite will be sent to your Buccaneer email to arrange accommodations with our counselor.

If you are approved for accommodation, it is your responsibility to send a copy of your accommodation letter to your professors.
