32 Miss. Code. R. 22-3.14.4
Mississippi State University (MSU), the University of Mississippi (UM), and the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) have designated liaison counselors. A rehabilitation counselor for the deaf (RCD) is assigned to serve as liaison for deaf and hard of hearing clients attending Hinds Community College (HCC). A client's case is to be transferred to the liaison counselor only if he/she needs ongoing (other than academic) vocational rehabilitation services while attending school. Otherwise, the client's case is to be kept by the counselor serving his/her hometown area.
Exceptions: Case files on all OVRB clients attending MSU and all deaf and hard of hearing clients attending HCC are to be transferred to the appropriate liaison counselor. Additionally, OVR clients outside the local district who are attending MSU and receiving support services through our contract with MSU's Student Support Services Office are to be transferred to the OVR liaison counselor.
Cases being transferred to a post-secondary liaison counselor are to be peer staffed, the IPE developed, and the client explained his/her responsibilities before the transfer. The case is to be sent to the liaison counselor at least one month prior to the start of school to allow time for him/her to issue all required authorizations.
