DSS Policies & Procedures

Responsible use of DSS services:

1. Service Suspension: I understand that if I am absent from a scheduled appointment or service two (2) times in one semester without contacting DSS at least 24 hours in advance to cancel the service, my services will be suspended until I meet with my DSS Specialist. Contact DSS by phone (Voice) 619-482-6512, (TTY) 619-482-6470, or by email dss@swccd.edu
   
   During the meeting I must present a valid reason for my unexcused absences. I understand the DSS Specialist may or may not reinstate the services depending upon the reasons for my absences.
2. I will meet annually with a DSS professional to complete a Student Educational Contract (SEC).
3. I understand that I must fulfill the above requirements for participation in the DSS program. I have received a copy of this policy on suspension of DSS services, and I understand the consequences of failing to comply with the rules for responsible use of DSS services. I understand I will be notified in writing after the first absence.

DSS students must fulfill the above requirements for participation in the DSS program and are given a copy of this policy on suspension of DSS services. DSS students are notified in writing before any action is taken to suspend services.
