Campus Resources

West Virginia State University (WVSU) does not discriminate on the basis of disability in its services, programs, or activities. Disability and Accessibility Resources, an administrative unit within the Division of Academic Affairs at West Virginia State University is your central point of reference for all matters related to accessibility for individuals with disabilities. The unit strives to collaborate with and empower individuals who have disabilities through efforts to eliminate barriers to access and participation within our institution when possible as well as coordinate accessibility, accommodations and related resources that enable equal access to an education, our programs and services and university life.  

Effective Communication: WVSU will, upon request, provide auxiliary aids and services leading to effective communication for people with disabilities, including qualified sign language interpreters, assistive listening devices, documents in Braille, and other ways of making communications accessible to people who have speech, hearing, or vision impairments.

 

Modifications to Policies and Procedures: WVSU will make reasonable modifications to policies and procedures to ensure that people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to enjoy programs, services, and activities. For example, people with service animals are welcomed in WVSU facilities, even where pets and other animals are prohibited.
