NMJC makes special efforts to eliminate both overt and subtle forms of sexual harassment.

ADA Compliance and Reasonable Accommodation
NMJC is committed to the recognition and the proactive pursuit of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). NMJC makes reasonable accommodation to the religious observances and practices of a student, an employee or prospective employee, and to the known physical or mental limitations of a qualified student, employee, applicant or program user with a disability, unless such accommodations have the end result of fundamentally altering a program or service or placing an undue hardship on the operation of NMJC. Qualified students, employees or program users with disabilities should contact the Office of Human Resources or Student Accessibility Services for information regarding accommodations in the employment and/or academic setting. To comply with the ADA and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, NMJC provides the information in this publication in alternative formats.
