Accessibility Services
WVNCC is committed to assuring that students with disabilities are afforded the same opportunities and the same responsibilities as all other students. Given legal mandates under the ADA, postsecondary institutions must make reasonable accommodations in order to provide students with disabilities an equal opportunity to participate in courses, programs, and activities.
It is important to understand that appropriate academic accommodation is determined based on the individual disability and needs. It is also important to understand that postsecondary schools are not required to lower or substantially modify essential requirements or fundamentally alter the nature of a service, program, or activity, that would result in an undue financial or administrative burden. Finally, postsecondary schools do not have to provide personal attendants, individually prescribed devices, readers for personal use or study, or other devices or services of a personal nature.
Accommodations for students with disabilities can be arranged through the Academic Resource Center by completing the Voluntary Disability Disclosure form. You will be contact by our office to set up an appointment.
