All requests for new accommodations must be followed up with an intake interview with the accessibility specialist. Request an appointment using the appointment request option below.
For academic accommodations, you need to have a schedule of courses for which you are registered before accommodations can be determined and finalized. The access consultation/intake interview should be scheduled for a time after you will register or have registered for classes.
Incoming freshmen students are encouraged to register for the earliest possible New Student Orientation date, typically in May. This will allow enough time for you to register for classes and scheduling your intake interview during the summer prior to the start of the fall semester.
Documentation from an appropriate professional is part of the determination process.
You can request current records from your provider or have them fill out the disability verification form which is available by clicking here.
If you do not have documentation of your diagnosis, ask the accessibility specialist for a list of referral sources you can utilize.
* In order to qualify for alternative format textbooks or course material options, the student must have a print disability - a learning, physical or visual disability that prevents a person from reading conventional print. A student must possess a copy of the textbook before an alternate format can be obtained.
Regarding textbooks in alternative formats - even if you do not have a print disability, publishers typically provide various formats for purchase. When they are available, many digital textbooks are available through either of the following platforms - Redshelf (can make purchases through the WVSU bookstore) or Vitalsource. These formats also have the advantage of typically being at a lower cost than the physical textbooks as well as typically offering resources and study tools. Access to these platforms and formats do not need to be requested through this accommodation process. You can contact the WVSU Bookstore (304-766-3351 or bookstore@wvstateu.edu) to determine which textbooks are available through the Redshelf platform. The Vitalsource platform can be accessed at https://www.vitalsource.com/.
