Moberly Area Community College Access and ADA Services Handbook 2026-2027

Responsibilities of the Student

MACC offers support services to any qualified student with a disability who requests such services. It is each student’s responsibility to make use of these services. Each student is reminded that they are ultimately responsible for their own academic success and/or failure. Each student must take the initiative to use time, facilities, and support services in a productive manner. Each student is responsible for their own work and grade in each course.

It is the responsibility of each student to know and abide by all MACC and Access and ADA Services Office guidelines and procedures.

Students must take the initiative to familiarize themselves with these guidelines and procedures. Failure to do so will not exclude the student from consequence of violating any MACC or Access and ADA Services Office guidelines and procedures.

  • Follow all procedures to register for services.
