Temporary Disabilities
Madison College is not obligated to provide services to students with temporary, non-chronic impairments that last less than three months and the conditions must be covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008.
There are exceptions if your treating physician provides us with the nature and length of the condition in a timely manner. We often can provide needed accommodations for the duration of the impairment or injury.
We do not provide devices or services of a personal nature, such as personal assistants, wheelchairs, or specially certified tutors.
Modifications, substitutions, or waivers of courses or degree requirements are determined on a case-by-case basis. Such accommodations need not be made if the institution can demonstrate that the changes would substantially alter the essential elements of the course or program.
Reporting Disability Discrimination
If you believe that you have been discriminated against, you may report to the college without fear of retaliation. Madison College will respond within three working days to reported allegations.
To receive information about options and procedures available:
- Consult with Conflict Management Services.

Response to Allegations
The college’s ADA/504 Coordinator or designee will analyze the report to determine the appropriate method for responding to conduct that could be considered a violation of college policy or is not aligned with college values.
