The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse is
committed to providing equal educational opportunities for all
students. Students with disabilities on our campus are offered a
variety of services to insure that both facilities and programs
are accessible. The Office of Disability Resource Services can
assist students in obtaining reasonable accommodations at the
university.
In 1988, the Board of Regents passed an
important non-discrimination policy for students with
disabilities who attend the University of Wisconsin System
schools. This policy mandates that students with disabilities
will receive the accommodations necessary for them to have equal
access to educational opportunities and programs in the
integrated or mainstreaming setting.
If you have a physical, sensory, emotional, or
learning disability, you should meet with personnel from the
Disability Resource Services during your first semester on
campus. Contact personnel at the office immediately after
acceptance into the university.
All classroom buildings have elevators,
entrance ramps and at least one accessible restroom for students
using wheelchairs. Academic accommodations are arranged on an
individual basis between the faculty, student and the Disability
Resource Services office staff.
