Minnesota State Colleges and Universities is committed to providing an equitable and safe environment for all its students and employees. To uphold its committment, the system office and/or individual campuses have the following processes in place pursuant to Board Policy 1B - Equal Education and Employment Opportunity:

Request Accommodations

Board Policy 1B.4 allows individuals with disabilities to request accommodations to participate in or benefit from the system's programs, services and activities.

To request accommodations, students should contact the Disability Services Coordinator on their campus. Employees should contact their Human Resources Office to request accommodations. Refer to Board Procedure 1B.0.1 for additional information. 

Report Discrimination or Harassment

Board Policy 1B.1 prohibits verbal or physical conduct that constitutes discrimination/harassment under state and federal law, including race, sex, color, creed, religion, age, national origin, disability, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or familial status.

To report discrimination or harassment (anonymously or not), contact the designated officer on campus. Always call 911 in an emergency.
