Purpose and Scope

Policy Statement

In keeping with this commitment, and in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (as amended) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (ADA), the University will make every effort to provide equality of opportunity and freedom from discrimination for members of the University community and visitors to the University, regardless of disability status. Accordingly, the University has taken positive steps to make University facilities accessible to individuals with disabilities, provide accessible digital access to information on WCU websites and systems, and established procedures to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities that enable them to participate in University programs. This policy applies to all members of the University community including students, faculty, staff and administrators. It also applies to all applicants for admission or employment and participants in University-sponsored activities.
