Special Populations

Oconee Fall Line Technical College’s special populations team identifies and provides support services to eliminate barriers to those students who self-disclose as a member of a special populations group. These groups include:

Individuals with disabilities;
Individuals from economically disadvantaged families, including low-income youth and adults;
Individuals preparing for non-traditional fields;
Single parents, including single pregnant women;
Out-of-workforce individuals;
Homeless individuals; and
Individuals with limited English proficiency.

Workshops are offered to these groups in areas such as goal setting, career counseling, job search/retention, financial management, and accessing community resources. The staff work with faculty in providing support services to students in these groups who are experiencing academic difficulties. The special populations director and coordinator work with special populations students and organize activities according to their needs.
