Services for Students with Disabilities

Wor-Wic provides reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The college does not diagnose or treat disabilities, but does provide services, such as note takers, tape recorders, testing accommodations, tutors, assistive technology, sign language interpreters for deaf students, and other reasonable accommodations.

Students requesting these services must submit medical and/or educational documentation to the director of counseling at least four weeks before the start of classes so that eligibility can be determined and the appropriate accommodations can be made. Text, voice and computer modem users can call Wor-Wic toll free through the Maryland Relay Service by calling 1-800-735-2258.
