Wellness and Accessibility Services (WAS) provides academic and housing accommodations that ensure equal access to the educational and living environment for students with documented learning, psychological and/or physical disabilities.
Students who request accommodations due to a diagnosed disability must provide relevant and current documentation before accommodations can be provided. The WAS staff works with students and their faculty members to determine reasonable accommodations to meet the documented needs. Eligibility for academic accommodations are reviewed each semester and a request for accommodations must be made by the student each semester. Academic accommodations are not automatically renewed.
New students with documented disabilities should register with WAS through the summer stART online program. They will then arrange for a consultation with WAS staff prior to the Fall Orientation, at which time reasonable accommodations will be established. Continuing students should contact WAS staff as soon as they complete their course prescheduling each semester to provide sufficient time for accommodations to be reviewed and arranged.
