Western Nebraska Community College is committed to providing support for all students so that they may achieve their academic potential. Services are provided to give students with disabilities an equal opportunity for success. Students with disabilities may enroll in regular courses and participate fully in the services and activities of the College. There are no special classes or fees for students with disabilities.

Reasonable accommodations may be provided to enable students with disabilities to learn, to receive information, and to demonstrate learned information. Such modifications to the learning environment are provided to assist the student in meeting the academic standards of the College.

It is the student’s responsibility to inform the College of a disability that may affect academic performance or access to the College and to make specific requests for accommodations in a reasonable and timely manner. The accommodation process is an interactive one and requires full participation on the part of the student. Accommodations must be requested each semester that they are needed.

Students requiring or requesting assistance must contact the WNCC Counseling Director. Appropriate documentation verifying a student’s disability is required in order to make reasonable accommodations. Such documentation must be provided by a qualified health professional and must indicate the applicable diagnosis, must describe the impact of the disability on academic performance, and must support the need for the requested accommodations.

The College reserves the right to have the documentation reviewed by appropriate professionals. Failure to submit appropriate and complete documentation in a timely manner will result in a delay in the accommodation process.

Any student who wishes to request accommodations, auxiliary aids, and/or services for a disability should download and print the request form, complete the information, and mail to:
