Hope to see you there!

On Friday, September 20th, the DSPS: ACE office will be closed for a staff development day. This is specific to Special Programs staff, not the whole campus. Regular hours will resume the following Monday.

On Tuesday, November 5th (Election Day) there wil be a campus-wide Flex Day. There will be no classes before 4:00pm, but classes scheduled after 4:00pm will take place as planned.

Welcome to Chabot DSPS! 

At Chabot College, giving all students an equal opportunity for success by devoting ourselves to accessible education is a fundamental value.

By joining the Disabled Students Programs & Services (DSPS) program in Building 2400 (ACE, or the Accessibility Center for Education), students are afforded the chance to get the specialized supports, tools, tech, and counseling they need to be their very best.

We welcome students with any disability, visible or invisible, and have dedicated counseling, adaptive classes, and accessible technology to support you on your educational journey.
