ADA Grievance Procedures

Procedure for Informal Grievance

  1. A student should first discuss his or her grievance with the instructor, administrator or other individual directly and immediately involved in the dispute if possible.
  2. The student may contact the Accommodations Coordinator as soon as possible to assist in addressing concerns at 254-299-8122 or disabilities@mclennan.edu.
  3. If the concern is still unresolved after consulting the party directly involved, and/or working with the Accommodations Coordinator, individuals may contact the Director of Accommodations and Title IX to request assistance in facilitating a resolution (254-299-8465).

The purpose of the informal process is to make a good faith effort to resolve the issue quickly and efficiently; however, individuals may implement the formal process at any time during the informal resolution process. See Policy E-XXXIII, ADA Grievance Policy.

Procedure for Formal Grievance

In the event that an informal grievance does not resolve the matter, a formal grievance may be filed using Policy F-V-s, Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation Resolution Process.

Should you disagree with the outcome of the Grievance Process, you may file a formal complaint with the Office for Civil Rights.

Students may contact the Office of Civil Rights with questions and concerns. Resources are located below:
