Students New to Disability Services - If you need additional support and would like to setup an appointment click here.
Students are also encouraged to disclose their disability to the Learning Specialist upon notification of admission to the college. Disclosure of a documented disability will enable the support staff to provide assistance with the Basic Skills Assessment, program planning, course scheduling, and classroom accommodations appropriate to the individual’s needs. Instructors are under no obligation to provide accommodations unless the student has disclosed the nature of the disability to the designated service provider on campus. The college reserves the right to determine the nature and extent of the accommodations provided.
MxCC strives to provide services within the guidelines and spirit of the American with Disabilities Act.
Students in need of ambulatory assistance should contact the Office of the Dean of Administration at 860–343–5704, so that emergency evacuation plans can be made. The individual student is responsible for personal service attendant.
STUDENTS WITH MEDICAL CONCERNS
Students are responsible for notifying the Associate Dean of Student Affairs (Phone: 860-343-5883) and instructors of any chronic medical conditions/concerns. Through this process, faculty and administration can better provide services for students with such medical conditions/concerns.
