The goal of Accessibility and Accommodation Services at Indiana Wesleyan University is to work cooperatively with students to help them reach their maximum academic, social, and personal potential. This is achieved by integrating legal expectations, Indiana Wesleyan's standards of service, and Christ-like principles. The Director of Accessibility and Accommodations is a trained professional responsible for determining accommodation eligibility and coordinating office services for students with disabilities. The Director works with the students, faculty, and staff to coordinate a plan of reasonable accommodations that allow for equal access to all areas of university life. Accessibility and Accommodation Services through the Center for Student Success are offered to all Indiana Wesleyan University Students on campus and online.
