Abstract: This study assessed how the North Carolina Community College System (N.C.C.C.S.) was serving documented learning disabled (LD) students and provided recommendations for additional delivery of services. The assessment included: (1) the statutary and judicial standards for compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, (2) the current practices of the N.C.C.C.S. in regard to compliance with Section 504, and (3) recommendations for meeting the legal requirements and the spirit of Section 504. Section 504 and relevant court decisions were vague regarding a method of providing services for the LD student's nondiscriminatory education. The N.C.C.C.S. has established some programs for its students with documented learning disabilities and appeared to meet a minimum standard of compliance with the guidelines of the law. A model program for delivering comprehensive services to students with documented learning disabilities was developed in this study.
