Requesting Disability-Related Services and Accommodations
as a Student* at Mohawk Valley Community College
In order to receive disability-related services and accommodations as a student or prospective student with a disability at Mohawk Valley Community College, you must follow the procedures outlined below:
1. Present the Disability Services Office (Utica Campus) or Student Services Office (Rome Campus) with thorough documentation that clearly demonstrates a disability that will impact some aspect of the educational process. This documentation must be provided by the professional(s) with the appropriate credentials to diagnose, treat, and monitor each diagnosed disability (see Documentation Guidelines).
2. Directly contact the Disability Services Office (Utica Campus) or Student Services Office (Rome Campus) to discuss your documentation and jointly determine appropriate services and accommodations for each course or activity.
3. Sign an Accommodation Plan, give a copy to each instructor (as indicated), and follow all pertinent disability-related policies and procedures necessary to implement the plan.
4. Maintain regular, ongoing communication with the Disability Services provider with whom you are working regarding the services and accommodations you’re receiving, and notify the provider immediately if any additional needs or problems arise.
5. Contact the Disability Services provider at the start of each subsequent semester to provide necessary updates and obtain copies of your Plan.
