To schedule a 30 minute in-person or Google meet (upon request) appointment with Student Disability Services, please use the "Make an Appointment" button below.  Please call 906-487-3558 with any questions.

Disability Services at Michigan Tech provides support and resources for students with or without a documented disability. Students do not need to have documentation of a disability to discuss strategies for college success with the coordinator of student disability services; incoming students who would like to meet with the Student Disability Services coordinator should make an appointment as early as possible in their first semester.

Failure to register a disability with the Student Disability office in a timely manner will lead to delays in receiving services.

While we will review IEP/504 Plans, these tend not to be as helpful in assisting students as actual diagnostic test results with interpretations from medical specialists.

If you have further questions, please call us at 906-487–3558.
