- Have a documented disability with Northwest-Shoals Community College.
How do I become a part of the SSS program at NW-SCC?
You Apply! Each year, the NW-SCC SSS staff meet face to face with students who meet SSS program requirements. These students then complete an application for our program. This is a voluntary support service; thus, only by returning a completed application in a timely fashion do you have the opportunity to secure a place in the SSS program.
By applying to SSS, you will be taking a giant step toward assuring your success at Northwest-Shoals Community College.
