Student Disability Services

CWI is sensitive to and understanding of its responsibilities to equal access, accommodation, and support of individuals with disabilities. Staff and faculty alike provide resources, advocacy, and collaboration across our campus community. Student Disability Services (SDS) builds and maintains partnerships with students, faculty, staff, and administrators to promote an accessible, nondiscriminatory learning, teaching, and working environment meeting the needs and abilities of students with disabilities.

Americans with Disabilities Compliance Statement

In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended in 1992 and with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, Student Disability Services is proactive in developing specialized accommodations to best support the abilities of each individual eligible for such services. Students with documented disabilities must self-identify to the SDS office and make a formal request for services in order to begin the intake process and identify appropriate accommodations.

Documentation and Request for Services

Students with documented disabilities who may qualify for Student Disability Services are encouraged to begin the process as soon as possible by self-identifying in order to have reasonable accommodations provided. Reasonable accommodations are made in context with the goals and essential standards of the college program, course, etc., to which the student is requesting access.
