Submit application to Disability Services (this application is separate from the admissions application and should be turned in to the Disability Services).
Gather required documentation (medical records, mental health records) to demonstrate
that you have a disability and submit it to the Disability Services office. Students
can sign a release to allow staff to obtain their records if they do not have a copy.
Students seeking accommodations from Mott Community College have the responsibility
of providing current documentation of disability and paying the costs associated with
diagnosis, evaluation, or testing.
Please note: An Individual Education Plan (IEP) is generally not sufficient documentation.
Student meets with a Disability Services Specialist to review their application and documentation and talk about their needs.
After documentation is received for a student and the student has met with a Disability Services Specialist, a review of all information takes place and a needs assessment is completed. The Disability Services Specialist develops a plan for accommodations and services that aligns with the student's documentation, requests, and relevant laws. The plan for accommodations and services is then submitted to the Director of the Student Success Center & Disability Services for consideration of approval.
Each semester that a student is registered for MCC classes, the Disability Services Specialist will send an Instructor Notification Letter (INL) to the student via email at last one week prior to the start of the semester. Upon receiving the emailed INL, the student should forward their INL to all instructors in courses where they want to use their accommodations. It is important to note that accommodations are not retroactive and an instructor will not provide accommodations to students unless they have received the INL from the student. This means that if a student forwards their INL to their instructor(s) in the middle of the semester, the accommodations do not apply to any work completed before the middle of the semester.
Students who receive accommodations through the Disability Services office may contact their assigned Disability Services Specialist if they have any questions or problems related to their accommodations. The Disability Services Specialist is available to work with students and faculty if there are any difficulties implementing the accommodation plan.
