of Students with Disabilities
While it
is the Office of Services for Student with Disabilities that
coordinates services for students with disabilities, we as an academic community have a responsibility for enacting accommodations. The inclusion of all members
of our community into the academic life of Nebraska Wesleyan
University requires that all constituents, faculty, staff
and students work together. Only through collaboration and
dialogue will we ensure inclusive practices and appropriate
services for students with disabilities.
Policy
Nebraska Wesleyan University seeks to maintain
a supportive academic environment for students with disabilities.
To ensure their equal access to all educational programs,
activities, and services. Federal law requires that students
with disabilities notify the University, provide documentation,
and request reasonable accommodations.
