What Is the Accommodations Process?
Staff and faculty are covered by ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) law. The MCAD accommodation process is how the college documents, determines, and protects accommodations.
Why Should I Go Through the Accommodations Process?
The accommodations process provides employee and institutional protection, and ensures continuity of care for the employee and department.
Step-by-Step Guide

Doctor’s note at this state is encouraged but not required. - Employee emails Senior Director of HR.
- Employee meets with Senior Director for further process walk through. Documentation may be required at this point depending on request.
