What should a faculty member do if they believe a student not registered at the DRC may have a disability, and would benefit from accommodations or services?
The faculty member can privately and tactfully refer a potential student to the DRC staff who will determine if they qualify for services. The DRC Web site offers a wealth of information to educate faculty and prospective students, downloadable forms and a link to contact the DRC directly to schedule a confidential intake interview. Some students with disabilities may elect not to register at the DRC, which is a personal choice. Non-registered DRC students are not entitled to receive free accommodations or services at TMCC.
