Disability Support Services

Documentation Requirements

Students requesting accommodations must provide current documentation that supports their request.

Documentation may include:

• Medical records or reports from a healthcare provider
• Psychological or educational evaluations
• Documentation from a qualified professional who can verify the disability and its impact

Documentation should describe:

• The diagnosed disability or condition
• How the disability affects the student in an educational setting
• Recommended accommodations, when appropriate

DSS reviews all documentation on an individual basis. Additional information may be requested if needed.

Accessibility Policies

MWCC follows the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA), and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

The College provides reasonable accommodations to qualified students with disabilities and works to ensure equal access to educational programs, services, and activities.

Accommodations are determined through an interactive process between the student and DSS and are based on documented needs.

Grievance Procedure

Students who believe they have been denied reasonable accommodations, experienced disability discrimination, or encountered accessibility barriers are encouraged to first contact Disability Support Services to discuss their concerns.

If the issue is not resolved, students may file a formal complaint through the College’s grievance process. Information about filing a grievance can be found through the Office of Equal Opportunity and Compliance.
