Disability Services

The philosophy of Baldwin-Wallace College is that students with disabilities have the right to full and self-directed participation in postsecondary education. At the same time, however, students with disabilities have certain responsibilities regarding their educational experience at Baldwin-Wallace. The student must

• Identify his/her disability to Disability Services for Students or the Learning Center by providing written documentation of the disability in a timely manner in order to qualify for accommodations on campus.
• Schedule an appointment and meet with the DSS or Learning Center personnel each semester to request, review, and/or modify accommodations.
• Meet with instructors at the beginning of each semester and give him/her the accommodation letter developed and provided by the DSS or Learning Center personnel.
• Consult with Disability Services for Students personnel to determine whether exam accommodations are necessary and appropriate. ALL exams taken at the Learning Center must be arranged and scheduled with the professor and Disability Services and/or the Learning Center at least one week prior to each test.  It is the student's responsibility to make such arrangements with both his/her instructors and the DSS office.
• Contact DSS or the Learning Center personnel in a timely manner if adjustments or modifications of accommodations are necessary.
• Maintain the same academic standards required of all Baldwin-Wallace College students.
• Abide by the B-W Student Judicial Code on matters such as academic honesty and behavior.
