Accommodation Services
Accommodation Services is here to help students become their own best advocates. We work alongside students with disabilities, pregnancy-related needs, and short-term life circumstances to address educational barriers through personalized strategies and academic accommodation planning.
Getting Started with Accommodations
If you have a disability, or you’re experiencing pregnancy-related needs or a short-term personal crisis that’s affecting your education, we’re here to help.
First-Time Student Requests
- Fill out the application that matches your situation.
- Submit supporting documentation, if applicable. Documentation can be submitted in any of these ways:
- Attach a copy to your application
- Submit using the Accommodation Services Documentation Upload
- Faxed to 928.704.4164
- Respond when Accommodation Services follows up by phone or email. Disability accommodation requests require a formal Intake Interview; pregnancy-related and compassionate care requests are typically confirmed through a shorter conversation.
- If approved, you will receive written notice called a Letter of Accommodations to your Mohave College student email.

Types of Accommodations
At Mohave College, we have three types of Accommodation Services that students can request.
Disability Services Accommodations
Students with a documented disability that substantially limits one or more major life activities, such as walking, seeing, hearing, thinking, learning, or concentrating. are entitled to reasonable accommodations in higher education under the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
To qualify for Disability Services Accommodations, students must:
1) have a physical or mental impairment that is covered by the law,
2) meet the institution’s academic and technical standards,
3) self-identify by providing appropriate supporting documentation, and
4) formally request accommodations and engage in the interactive process.
Requesting accommodations is optional, and students are not required to inform the college that they have a physical or mental impairment. Students who feel they may need accommodations, but are not sure, are encouraged to request them as soon as possible. Accommodations are only effective from the date of approval, and if requested mid-term, they will not be applied retroactively to the beginning of the semester.

Pregnancy-Related Accommodations
Students who are pregnant or have a pregnancy-related condition are entitled to reasonable accommodations to help them continue their studies. These may include adjustments to assignment deadlines or physical accommodations.
Pregnancy Accommodations
Compassionate Care Accommodations
Mohave College offers a Compassionate Care model of accommodation to students due to short-term extenuating circumstances that are otherwise unqualified by Disability Services or Pregnancy-Related Accommodations.
Examples of short-term extenuating circumstances
• Death of an immediate family member or intimate partner
• Subpoenaed court appearance or legal issues (excluding legal issues stemming from illegal activity by the student)
• Sudden hospitalization/surgery of custodial child/dependent, immediate family member, or intimate partner
• Suicide attempt of an immediate family member or intimate partner
Extenuating circumstances do not include personal events (e.g., weddings, family reunions, vacations), transportation or technological difficulties, childcare, or overcommitted personal time (i.e., course load, student activities, employment without additional circumstances beyond the student’s control).
