Disability Support Services

Dean College prides itself on offering a highly supportive environment for all students, particularly those with different learning styles. At Dean, we recognize that a diagnosed disability is not an indictment of a student’s intelligence but rather an opportunity for understanding that we are all individuals and should be treated as such.


For students with diagnosed learning disabilities or with physical disabilities, the Dean College Arch Learning Community provides a proven pathway for success as a place where a student can transition to college level work while receiving the range of support services they need to reach their potential. The Arch Learning Community provides comprehensive support services for eligible students and enjoys a long track-record of success in helping students prepare for what’s next, whether what’s next is transfer to a highly selective college or university environment or completion of a baccalaureate degree at Dean College en route to a promising career.
