Disability Services and Other Student Resources
Disability Services
Northwest Vista College is dedicated to creating opportunities for success for many different kinds of students. Some students may have disabilities that interfere with their ability to succeed in the classroom. The Access office offers services to help level the playing field and create opportunities for success for students with disabilities. Please call 210-486-4466 for information.
To be eligible for disability-related services, students must have a disability as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act Links to an external site. of 1990 (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Under the ADA and Section 504, a person has a disability if he or she has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities (walking, standing, seeing, speaking, hearing, sitting, breathing, taking care of oneself, etc.).

Other student resources
Remote Learning
A remote class is similar to an online class because it uses Canvas or other online resources like Zoom for content and activities; however, much of the course instruction may be offered synchronously--at scheduled times. Your instructor will provide you with the Zoom or other resource link for your class.
If you are a student and need assistance with Canvas please call (210) 485-0555, option 2 or click Help to chat with a Canvas student help desk associate.
