Temporary Limiting Condition

Students who experience a medical condition, such as a broken dominant hand or a concussion, they can meet with Disabilities Services to see if they are eligible for temporary adjustments (i.e. extra time on exams, use of assistive technology, etc.) in their classes while they recover.

Pregnant or Parenting Students

At MTC we hope that all goes well with students who may be experiencing pregnancy or childbirth while enrolled in classes. However, unexpected situations can occur during pregnancy or childbirth that may negatively impact a student’s enrollment in classes. A student who experiences a situation related to pregnancy or childbirth that may limit (for example, required bedrest because of preeclampsia or unexpected Cesarean childbirth) is encouraged to reach out to the Director of Disability Services who works with the MTC Title IX Coordinator to determine possible temporary adjustments the student might be eligible to use to mitigate the impact as required under Title IX.
