Student Services programs at Linn State Technical College are designed to provide support services to students in meeting their individual educational goals.  Services to students at LSTC include career planning, academic advisement, housing assistance, financial aid, library resources, academic support, and services for special populations.

The Office of Counseling Services works together with all faculty members in carrying out the counseling program at Linn State Technical College.  Academic, social, and vocational concerns will be primarily coordinated in the Counseling Office.  The counselors do not attempt to make decisions for students; rather, they seek to help students make responsible decisions for themselves.

Counseling services at LSTC assist students in making educational and personal decisions.  If additional counseling services are required, the college staff will refer the students to qualified counselors off-campus.

SERVICES FOR SPECIAL POPULATIONS

The college is committed to providing equal opportunities for students of special populations in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990.  Linn State Technical College does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age or handicap in admission/access to or treatment/employment in its programs and activities.  Any persons having inquiries concerning LSTC compliance with such regulations should contact the Dean of Student Services by phone at (573) 897-5000 or by mail at Linn State Technical College, One Technology Drive, Linn, MO  65051.

Students requesting accommodations should contact the Vocational Resource Educator.  The type of service made available is dependent upon documented expressed need.  The accommodations for students with special needs are coordinated through the Vocational Resource Educator (VRE).  If a student has a disability or impairment that prevents him/her from completing tests or other assignments in class, the student may request for tests or assignments to be completed in the Academic Resource Center with prior arrangements made with the instructor.  If a student finds that the academic program is not accessible, information should be reported to the Vocational Resource Educator or Department Chair.  As needs are reported, every effort is made to respond in a timely manner to make programs accessible.
