MTC Reopening Focuses on Flexibility and Student Success

Flexibility is an MTC priority when planning for students to return to campus for fall classes this month. The college is providing access to real-time help in multiple services, including in virtual and face-to-face environments. Here are a few of the resources students may access to help make their educational journey a success.

• MTC instructors are practicing pivoting their on-campus classes to virtual formats in case the need arises.

Midlands Technical College wants everyone to know that the college actively works to make sure all of its programs, services, and activities are accessible. Disability Services coordinates with faculty and staff to provide equal access to the college’s educational programs, services, and courses on a case-by-case basis. Should a student need to request an accommodation, it is the student’s responsibility. A student’s initial request for accommodations should preferably occur prior to the beginning of a program or course, but can be requested at any time.
