If you have learning differences, Nichols College offers learning services to help. We believe a learning difference doesn’t have to hinder you as you prepare for your future. Our goal is to provide resources that can help you reach your full potential at Nichols.

Success is met through specialized coaching and classroom accommodations depending upon the individual student’s needs. In addition, temporary accommodations can be offered to students with documented medical or mental health issues.

You have a right to privacy, so students with learning differences need to first decide whether to disclose the fact that you have learning differences to Advising Services. In order to receive accommodations, students must have a documented diagnosis, which may be demonstrated through a high school IEP, testing, or doctor’s note. For more information on submitting your documentation by email, mail, or fax, please email us at advising@nichols.edu. Upon submitting documentation, you must contact Advising Services to schedule an appointment to discuss and decide which accommodations are needed to ensure your success.
