How to know you qualify for disability services
There are several laws that address the responsibilities of MCTC toward individuals with disabilities, which include the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Rehabilitation Act, and the Minnesota Human Rights Act. The laws apply only if an individual establishes that he or she meets the legal definition of 'disabled'.
- First, the College must not discriminate against individuals on the basis of disability. A 'qualified' individual with a documented disability is someone who, with or without reasonable accommodation, meets the essential eligibility requirements for the receipt of services or the participation in programs, services, or activities provided by MCTC. The college may not treat qualified individuals with disabilities differently from individuals without disabilities or have a policy that has a negative impact on individuals with disabilities.
- Second, the College must provide access to programs and services and reasonably accommodate qualified individuals with documented disabilities.
