classroomNew Mexico Junior College is committed to providing an educational and employment environment that is free from discrimination on the basis of sex, which includes discrimination based on current, potential, or past pregnancy or related conditions.

火博体育官网 will provide Reasonable Modifications to prevent sex discrimination and ensure equal access to 火博体育官网's education programs and activities. Any student seeking Reasonable Modifications must contact the Title IX Coordinator or the Coordinator's designee, Kelly Rueda, to discuss appropriate and available Reasonable Modifications based on their individual needs.

  •     Intermittent absences to attend medical appointments
  •     Access to online or homebound education
  •     Changes in schedule or course sequence
  •     Time extensions for coursework and rescheduling of tests and examinations
  •     Allowing a student to sit or stand, or carry or keep water nearby
  •     Counseling
  •     Changes in physical space or supplies (for example, access to a larger desk or a footrest)
  •     Elevator access
  •     A larger uniform or other required clothing or equipment
  •     Other changes to policies, practices, or procedures determined by the Title IX Coordinator
