student affairs : academic support

A variety of academic support is available to MECA students. This includes accommodations for students with disabilities as well as tutoring and advising for all students.

Advising

Academic advising is an important part of the MECA experience. As an entering student, you will be assigned a faculty advisor who will assist you during your first two years. Upon declaring a major, you will be assigned a faculty advisor in your chosen department, with whom you will work closely during your junior and senior years. In addition, Student Affairs staff members provide academic advising to all students.

Director of Student Affairs
Director of Student Affairs is available for counseling about course selection, registration policies, leaves of absence, faculty issues, academic or personal difficulties, etc., as well as questions about policies and regulations at the College.

Disabled Student Services
Upon request and documentation, MECA provides to qualified students reasonable accommodations to remediate the competitive disadvantage that a disability can create in the collegiate setting. The goal of the College is to balance on a case-by-case basis the specific needs of its students with the programmatic integrity, administrative resources and financial limitations of the College. Disabled student services are coordinated through the Student Affairs Office.

Campus Technology

Three computer labs offer over fifty MacIntosh computers with complete web, print and design software; a selection of slide and flatbed scanners; and audio and video editing systems. Output capabilities include color laser and large format drum printing. Audiovisual equipment is also available on a check-out basis for student use, including DAT recorders and digital video and still cameras. All MECA students receive an email account through the campus network and keep this account throughout their four years and as alumni.
