Accessibility Services

Mountwest Community & Technical College is committed to ensuring equitable access for all students. Accessibility Services partners with students who have documented disabilities to identify and implement accommodations that support academic success. To receive accommodations, students must register with Accessibility Services and provide appropriate documentation.

About Accomodations

Students seeking accommodations must submit current documentation of a disability to Accessibility Services. Acceptable documentation may include evaluations or letters from a qualified professional, as well as prior Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or 504 Plans dated within the past five years. Documentation must be provided on the provider’s official letterhead or professional document template and include the provider’s name, office address, phone number, and professional license number. Documentation must be dated within the last five years and include the following information:

  1. Date of the most recent visit to diagnosing professional
  2. A clear statement of the diagnosis and the date of the original diagnosis
  3. A summary of diagnostic tests, methods, and/or criteria used to establish the diagnosis, including evaluation results and standardized test scores if applicable

 Note: Accommodations provided cannot fundamentally alter the nature of the course work.

Questions About Documentation?

 

If you are unsure whether your documentation meets these requirements or have questions about what to submit, please contact Accessibility Services. Our team is happy to review your situation and help you determine next steps.
