Why Register with Disability Services
A college student with a disability, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Links to an external site., has the right to notify the Disability Support Services Office should they need academic adjustments. A student is not required to inform the college that he or she has a disability; however, if the student wants an institution to provide an academic adjustment, accessible housing or other facilities, or other disability-related services, the student must identify himself or herself as having a disability. The disclosure of a disability is always voluntary. All students must comply with the policies, codes, and regulations of Hinds Community College (see Student Handbook) Download Student Handbook).
