ACCESS Center

Based on guidance from university administration, the UW-La Crosse Transition Fair for High School Students with Disabilities will be postponed until the Spring semester due to the current high numbers of COVID-19 cases in La Crosse County. The new tentative date will be April 12, 2022.  Please watch your email for details regarding registration in early spring.  If you have any students who are planning on applying to UWL and would like additional information prior to April, please have them call the ACCESS Center at 608-785-6900 and we would be happy to meet with them.

The ACCESS Center promotes equal access and educational opportunity for students with disabilities and provides services to students attending UW-La Crosse who have a documented disability.

ACCESS Center staff will meet with students and - based on documentation - determine appropriate academic accommodations to help you accomplish your academic goals and give you the support you need through graduation. 

If you have a documented disability that is challenging you, get the support and assistance you deserve to help make the most of your education and campus life activities.

Who We Serve

• The ACCESS Center serves any student with a documented disability (e.g. ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Acquired Brain Injury, PTSD, Physical, Sensory, Psychological, or Learning Disability) who needs to arrange academic accommodations for their classes.

What We Do

• Promote access on campus and coordinate academic accommodations with students and instructors for students with disabilities
