Students in the WWU in the High School Program who would like additional information or would like to request accommodations should review the “Getting Started” section on Western’s Disability Access Center (DAC) webpage.
If WWUHS students have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or a 504 plan supported by their high school, they should provide that documentation for DAC review. The DAC will review the plan in accordance with Western’s accommodation policies and practices, as there may be differences between the IEP/504 Plan and the accommodations that Western can provide (see the DAC’s “The differences in legal rights and responsibilities in secondary and post secondary education” page for additional information).
All students enrolled in WWUHS Courses must meet Western’s stated learning objectives through their WWUHS experience.
