The Students' Responsibilities

The student is responsible for registering for services with Disability Resources and Services of MCC and provide documentation of the disability.

It is the responsibility of the student to identify him/herself to the instructor that he/she has a disability and to discuss the necessary accommodations. It is also the responsibility of the student to obtain the INSTRUCTOR NOTIFICATION FORM from Disability Resources and Services to take to the instructor and to give timely notification of disability and his/her need for accommodation. The form will help the student and the instructor discuss methods that will make the course fully accessible for the learning style of the student. Asking for test accommodations one day or less from the exam is not reasonable notification by the student to the instructor.

After disability accommodations have been given to the student, the student should strive to be successful in the coursework as enrolled. Students are encouraged to utilize the success strategies that are as follows:

• Regular and punctual attendance of classes
• Consistent and effective study habits
• Read the textbook and other necessary material
• Take good notes
• Do all homework assignments
• Consult with the instructor when there are questions

• Interview instructors before enrolling in courses

For students who are allowed a Private Testing Room, it is the student's responsibility to make arrangements for special testing accommodations by going to Disability Resources & Services and completing a Test Accommodation Request Form. This form must be submitted at least two (2) business days prior to the test date.

It is the student's responsibility to purchase the textbook(s) and provide a copy of the "paid" receipt to DRS.

If Brailled textbooks are needed by the student, it is the responsibility of the student to register early and to provide Disability Resources & Services the class schedule and, if possible, a course syllabus from the instructor.
