Disability Resources facilitates equal access for students with disabilities, allowing full participation in educational programs, services, and campus activities through appropriate and reasonable accommodations while maintaining the academic standards and integrity of the college.
Moraine Park offers reasonable accommodations and support services for students with disabilities at all campus sites.
A student with a disability is any person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, has a record of such impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment. At the post-secondary level, a qualified student is a student with a disability who meets the academic and technical standards required for participation in the class, program, or activity.
Disabilities include, but are not limited to:
It is the responsibility of the student with the disability to self-identify to Disability Resources and to make accommodation requests as soon as possible. Students may provide disability documentation or documentation may be requested on your behalf. Our staff members will discuss documentation requirements at a scheduled appointment. Disability Resources may not be able to make an immediate decision and provide accommodations for students who wait until the course begins or until the day of a test.
A reasonable accommodation is determined by a Disability Resources staff member and is based upon the documentation provided/obtained.
Possible accommodations include, but are not limited to:
Step 1: Make a request at Accommodate
Step 2: Upload documentation in Accommodate or bring to your New Student Appointment. If you do not have documentation to provide, a staff member will work with you to request documentation on your behalf.
Step 3: Within your Accommodate request form, choose an option that best meets your needs for scheduling an appointment.
Examples of Documentation:
Testing Accommodations for students who have a documented disability may be approved or facilitated through Disability Resources.
Testing includes:
We recommend starting the process early as timelines vary for each exam. If you are currently working with Disability Resources, please contact the Accommodation Specialist or Accessibility Specialist at your respective campus to discuss the process. If you have not requested accommodations, please start by submitting an accommodation request at Accommodate.

Test Taking is not considered a major life activity therefore test anxiety, with no other clinical diagnosis, e.g. a generalized or severe anxiety disorder, is not eligible for test accommodation consideration.
Course examinations are delivered globally in English. English-as-a-second-language (ESL) is a life circumstance, not a disability, and as such, accommodations are not provided for this.
During your New Student Appointment, the staff member will discuss possible ways to gather past documentation or offer resources related to low cost disability evaluations.
Without an approved accommodation, this will depend on each individual instructor’s course policy.
This will be dependent on if you have appropriate documentation. An interactive process will start with the Accommodation Specialist/Accessibility Specialist meeting with you to discuss your request and to gather intake information. Documentation will also be reviewed. The final step is to meet to review a drafted Accommodation Plan. It is recommended that you apply for accommodations as soon as possible.
