At Wharton County Junior College, we believe in every student to achieve their full
potential. Our comprehensive student disability services and accommodations ensure
an inclusive, accessible learning environment in compliance with Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Get the support you need
to thrive at WCJC, from application through graduation.
Start Strong: Request Accommodations
Begin your academic journey with confidence. If you're a student with disabilities,
we encourage you to self-identify and inform us of any assistance you may need during
the application process. Early self-identification allows us to provide you with reasonable
accommodations as quickly as possible. Rest assured, your disability information is
strictly confidential and not part of your academic records. This service and accommodations
are free of charge to you. Follow these simple steps to receive the support you need:
Submit Your Documentation
Step 1
Provide documentation of your disability to the Office of Counseling and Disability
Services or email it to disabilityservices@wcjc.edu Review our Documentation Guidelines to ensure you submit all required documents in
a timely manner.
Schedule Your ADA Intake and Orientation Meeting
Step 2
Once your documentation is confirmed, contact the WCJC Office of Disability Services
at disabilityservices@wcjc.edu to schedule an ADA Intake and Orientation meeting.
Attend Your ADA Intake and Orientation Meeting
Step 3
Meet with a counselor to review your documentation and discuss your accommodations.
This meeting can be in-person or virtual. Feel free to ask questions or request clarification.
Receive Your Customized ADA Accommodation Letter
Step 4
If approved, you'll receive a personalized ADA Eligibility Letter outlining your accommodations.
Continuing Accommodations
Ensure seamless support throughout your academic journey. Request a continuation of
your approved accommodations each semester by contacting the Office of Counseling
and Disability Services at disabilityservices@wcjc.edu. ADA Accommodation Letters are course specific. They are e-mailed to the student
each semester, when requested by the student.
Your Responsibilities as a Student
To receive accommodations, it's essential for you to voluntarily disclose your disability
and request assistance in a timely manner. WCJC is committed to providing support
but cannot assume responsibility for students who haven't identified themselves or
requested accommodations.
