Mission & Values

Remember to Submit Your Accommodations! Please remember to submit your accommodation letters to your instructors through Clockwork in MyPortal. This step is essential—it notifies your instructors of your approved accommodations and ensures they can put the necessary supports in place as early as possible. Submitting your letters each quarter helps you receive timely access to the resources you need to succeed.

Do you have a disability or need support to access your education fully?

Many different conditions can affect how you learn or participate in class. DSPS counselors can help you explore which accommodations may support your needs and improve your experience at Foothill. Whether your disability is permanent, temporary, visible, or invisible, the DSPS is here to ensure you have equitable access to your education. If you have an IEP, 504 plan, RTI, or DOR counselor, or you had one at any prior time, please make sure to fill out an application.

Are you a De Anza student taking classes at Foothill? If you're currently attending De Anza and plan to take classes at Foothill, is the first step to starting your services with the Foothill DSPS. Submitting the form allows our team to review your needs, connect you with a counselor, and ensure your accommodations are in place before the quarter begins.
