Student Accessibility Services
MIAD provides reasonable and appropriate accommodations for students with documented disabilities. Accommodations are determined on an individual basis through the Student Accessibility Coordinator. For more information regarding polices and procedures, explore Student Accessibility Services in the Student Handbook.
Students with support needs, whether physical, academic, sensory, or psychological, are encouraged to contact the MIAD’s Student Accessibility Coordinator, Nichole Uecker. Nichole’s office is located near the Library and Academic Success Center in Room RL95B. Students must meet with the Accessibility Coordinator before they can obtain accommodations for their disability.
While students may apply for accommodations at any point during their time at MIAD, they are encouraged to notify the Student Accessibility Coordinator in a timely manner so that appropriate accommodations can be provided.
