When a faculty or staff member refers a student for Early Alert Program, the student will be contacted by a Counselor who will connect with the student via a phone call and/or email, discuss any issues going on, and share resources available to the student.
Basic Needs Resource Referral - Palomino Pantry
Laredo College has basic needs resources to support students who are experiencing food, hygiene or transportation barriers. Students, faculty and staff can complete the form below to connect students with our Basic Needs Coordinator for support.
Short-Term Accommodations
Temporary impairments such as broken bones, temporary illnesses, concussions and recovery from surgery are generally not regarded as disabilities, as the degree of functional limitation and the duration of such impairments are typically not substantial enough to cause the temporary condition to be considered a disability.
Students may be approved to receive temporary accommodations through Disability Services. Temporary accommodations do not exceed one semester and are usually implemented to provide student access to classrooms, course resources, and/or other student campus services.
Missing a few classes or deadlines because of acute illness, such as the flu, bronchitis and strep throat does not require formal accommodation and we encourage you to work directly with your professors to get back on track. We are, however, always here to consult or support you in your medical and/or academic recovery.
Pregnancy Accommodation Request
This form can be used by pregnant students to initiate their pregnancy accommodation request for the current semester. It is the pregnant student’s responsibility to renew their pregnancy accommodation for every semester enrolled at Laredo College.
Pregnancy and Parenting Support Referral
This form can used by an instructor or staff member wanting to refer a student for services.
Student Complaint/Grievance
The primary goal of the Student Grievance Process is to produce a mutually acceptable solution to a student's complaint as soon as possible. When students believe Laredo College is not meeting its responsibilities under the law or our own policies and procedures, they are encouraged to know and work with us to resolve the issues. The College District has designated resources to help maintain our professional standards across campus and to provide appropriate responses to complaints and concerns. The College District encourages students to discuss their concerns with the appropriate faculty member or other campus administrator who has the authority to address the concerns. For more information about students complaints click and review FLD — Student Rights and Responsibilities: Student Complaints policy. If the concern is not addressed, then students are referred to submit a formal complaint.
