Students with Disabilities

MCC provides a mainstreamed learning environment for students who identify themselves as having a disability with the Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) office. In accordance with the Americans With Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the College ensures that admission, services, activities, facilities and academic programs are accessible to and usable by qualified students with disabilities. Reasonable accommodations are available to students who self-identify with the SSD office of their needs and must provide the appropriate documentation for services. Students who are deaf or hard of hearing requesting interpreting services on any campus please contact the Brighton SSD office at 585.292.2140.

Although the testing accommodations usually requested are extended time and a quiet, less distracting environment, other accommodations are sometimes needed. These are determined on a case-by-case basis, based on the student’s disability and the documentation provided. Students should make requests for testing accommodations as early as possible, preferably at the beginning of the semester.
