Policy on Accommodation for Individuals with Disabilities

The University of West Alabama strives to make its programs accessible to qualified persons defined as disabled under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Students who have special needs which require accommodation are responsible for notifying individuals from whom assistance may be required and informing instructors in each course in which they are enrolled. Students should contact the University’s Counseling Center following acceptance to the University to discuss the range of services or accommodations the University can provide. Support documentation of special needs from a physician or other qualified professional will be required if deemed necessary.
