ACCESSIBILITY SERVICES
For nearly 15 years, Meridian Community College has been providing Accessibility Services, which shows our dedication and support for students with documented disabilities. Our college and staff are dedicated to assisting you to achieve your educational goals by making the college’s facilities and programs accessible for all people.
Consistent with the mandates of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Meridian Community College is committed to providing individuals with disabilities equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from its educational programs and services. Support Services has been designated to coordinate the College’s efforts to comply with and carry out its responsibilities under these laws.
Self-identification is voluntary. However, the Accessibility Office can be of service to students only to the extent that their individual needs are made known. Students and prospective students are encouraged to make early contact with the Accessibility Office.
