Student Support Services

Library Services: The NMC Library provides off campus access to the online catalog and a broad range of educational resources. Students can reach the library by phone (402-354-7245) or email (library@methodistcollge.edu). Online databases can be accessed using NMC user ID and password at the following link: http://www.methodistcollege.edu/library. 
 
Student Support Services: A complete guide to Student Support Services can be found on the NMC Website at http://www.methodistcollege.edu/student-life/services . Below is a brief summary of some services that are directly related to you and your program. It is strongly recommended that you consult the Website for additional information.  Disability Accommodations: Reasonable academic accommodations are provided for students  who have documented disabilities and have met sufficiently in advance with the NMC Academic  Skills Specialist (402-354-7214) to develop a written plan. It is the student’s  responsibility to notify the College of need for accommodations. Accommodations cannot be  granted retroactively, and late notification of need does not excuse the student from work already  completed in the course.
 
Writing Across the Curriculum:  Located on MyMethodist, is a set of resources WAC (WAC – writing across the curriculum) for improving your writing.  https://my.methodistcollege.edu/ICS/WAC/

Graduate and certificate students are particularly encouraged to use the writing resources through NetTutor and WAC (see orange tabs above).
 
Academic Advising: Following admission to the program, an academic advisor is assigned to each student. The academic advisor serves as the point of contact for students and facilitates academic planning and course registration (including course, program or college withdrawal, leave of absence).
