How to Apply for Access and Disability Services

1. Complete an Access and Disability Services intake form.

   At the end of the intake form, you may attach documentation about your disability or health condition and how it impacts you.

   Some examples of documentation include Individualized Educational Programs (IEPs) or 504 plans from high school, neuropsychological testing reports, vision examination reports, audiological evaluations or audiograms, hospital discharge summaries, doctor’s notes, or other medical records.

   See more information about documentation under How We Determine Accommodations.

   If you need assistance completing the intake form, contact our office at (815) 455-8766 or disabilityservices@mchenry.edu. You can also visit us in A256.

2. Wait for a call or email from ADS.

   After the ADS team reviews your intake form, we will contact you to schedule an intake appointment. ADS will contact you at the phone number you provided on your intake form or at your MCC student email address. See information about MCC student email.

3. Meet with ADS for an intake appointment.

   Appointments are offered in person, by Zoom, or by phone. You may bring a support person to the intake appointment.

   If you requested an expedited review, you are choosing to forgo a sit-down meeting, and we will conduct everything through your MCC student email address.

4. Check your MCC student email!

   After the intake appointment, we'll send confirmation of your approved accommodations to your MCC student email address.

5. Important: Request your approved accommodations each semester through the ADS student portal to automatically notify your instructors.
