Disability Services
Disability Services works collaboratively with departments across UNW and with outside organizations to provide reasonable accommodations per the student’s qualifying documented needs. A disability may be categorized as one or more of the following:
- Physical or medical
- Learning
- Psychological
Disability Services follows the guidelines of “reasonable accommodations” as outlined by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973: Section 504 and Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). Students with a documented disability may receive services, if appropriate, in a variety of areas. Students seeking accommodations should contact Disability Services to start the review process for reasonable accommodations. To respect individual privacy, and in compliance with FERPA, release forms are required.
