“I graduated in 2012 with an associate’s in business management and a certificate in small business development. I went on to open my own small business and have found great success in my career. I love what I do and I owe a lot of my success to the time I spent at EMCC!”
EMCC is committed to creating inclusive communities that ensure equal access to on-campus housing. Students requesting housing accommodations under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act must provide disability documentation authored by a Qualified Provider licensed to assess and treat the functional impairment related to the disabling condition. Students with multiple disabilities may need to submit documentation from various providers.
Qualified Providers include medical doctors, doctors of osteopathic medicine, physician assistants, psychiatric nurse practitioners, psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors/therapists, occupational and physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, optometrists, and audiologists.
EMCC offers communal student housing mainly consisting of double and triple dorm rooms with shared baths, laundry facilities, study lounges, and common areas. Communal living allows students to practice a growth mindset, expand their interpersonal communication skills, and build healthy peer relationships.
EMCC ResLife Staff are available to support students in managing anxious feelings that often accompany college and dorm life transitions by facilitating difficult conversations, navigating roommate agreements, and providing individual support.
Current students seeking housing accommodations for an emotional disorder should be prepared to work with ResLife to address their concerns using the least restrictive interventions necessary.
New students seeking housing accommodations for an emotional disorder should provide a documented history of requiring housing accommodations or failed attempts at communal living.
Communal living environments are not considered academic spaces. Therefore, any requests for housing accommodations related solely to the need for focus or study space will not be granted.
Please complete the Housing Accommodations Provider Form online if possible. The online form can be found at the bottom of this page. Paper forms can be obtained by contacting EMCCaccess@mainecc.edu to request a copy. Completed paper forms can be faxed back to 207-974-4883.
The student’s accommodation request cannot be evaluated without this documentation.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact accessibility services coordinator, Director of Student Learning, Elizabeth Daigle at 207-974-4868 or EDaigle@mainecc.edu.
