Disability Services
Brown Mackie College provides accommodations to qualified students with disabilities. The
Disability Services office assists qualified students with disabilities in acquiring reasonable and
appropriate accommodations and in supporting equal access to services, programs and
activities at Brown Mackie College San Antonio.
Students who seek reasonable accommodations should notify the Disabilities Services
Coordinator at 210-‐428-‐2247, Eva Gonzalez, of their specific limitations and if known, their
specific requested accommodations. Students will be asked to supply medical documentation
of the need for accommodation. Classroom accommodations are not retroactive, but are
effective only upon the student sharing approved accommodations with the instructor.
Therefore, students are encouraged to request accommodations as early as feasible with the
Disability Services Coordinator to allow for time to gather necessary documentation. If you
have a concern or complaint in this regard, please contact Eva Gonzalez, Disability Services
Coordinator at Brown Mackie College San Antonio, telephone number 210-‐428-‐2247.
Complaints will be handled in accordance with the school’s Internal Grievance Procedure for
Complaints of Discrimination and Harassment.
Appropriate language in classroom
Class behavior is to be governed by the rules of general courtesy and respect for the diverse
opinions of others. As this is a college class, you are required to express yourself in a polite,
proper, sophisticated manner at all times. Violations will receive a warning and may be
reported to the Dean of Academics.
