Welcome to Access and Disability Services! Since 1973, ADS has been committed to providing
accessible programs, services, and support to the Harper community. We are a resource
for Harper College students, faculty, and staff. Utilizing the social justice model
of disability, we provide services on an individualized basis through an interactive
and inclusive process.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CURRENT STUDENTS WITH ACCOMMODATIONS: AIM is being updated to Version 5. ADS will go live with the new version during Winter
Break 2026. During the update, AIM will be unavailable, and students and staff will
not be able to access the system.
After January 4, 2027, if you have questions about navigating this revised interface,
please stop by the office, call or email the front desk or your Access Advocate and
we can help you find your way.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility during this transition.
