Welcome to Disability Services. The mission of the Disability Services office at Great Falls College MSU is to facilitate accessibility to all aspects of the college experience for all students with disabilities enrolled at the college.
What is a Disability?
Great Falls College MSU is committed to providing equal access and accommodation
for all educational and programmatic opportunities at the College for students with
diagnosed disabilities. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 (Title
II), the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) of 2008, and Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, individuals with disabilities are entitled
to reasonable accommodations in order to ensure access. The definition of a disability
is a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one of more major life
activities. These include, but are not limited to, caring for oneself, performing
manual tasks, seeing, hearing, eating, sleeping, walking, standing, lifting, bending,
speaking, breathing, learning, reading, concentrating, thinking, communicating, and
working.
Students with disabilities have a right to reasonable accommodations in order to fully participate in the postsecondary educational experience. Students with disabilities are encouraged to advocate for themselves to the extent possible, and Disability Services provides support and assistance in determining what accommodations are best suited to each individual.
