Disability Support Services

It is the policy of Wallace Community College to provide reasonable accommodations for environmental and program accessibility for individuals with a diagnosed disability as defined in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). Specialized services and accommodations provide students with disabilities complete access to all academic, health sciences, technical, and College programs.

Students are responsible for reporting their requested needs to the campus Disability Support Services Compliance Officer and providing proper documentation of their disabilities at least six weeks before a term begins. Early contact is essential to allow sufficient time for evaluating, planning, and arranging needed accommodations and services.
