Disability Services for Students

In concert with the mission of the Division of Student Life, Disability Services within the Learning Assistance Center (LAC) exists to enable students with disabilities to experience equal access to the academic, social, and recreational activities and programs at Wake Forest University. To achieve the goal of "equal access," the LAC staff works with students, faculty and staff to implement services and accommodations that are in accordance with both state and federal laws and our own commitment to this goal.

The size of Wake Forest University enables the LAC staff to work in an individual manner with students who choose to disclose disabilities. Once a student is admitted to Wake Forest and contacts the Learning Assistance Center or Student Health Services regarding their disability, he or she is encouraged to set up an appointment with the Director or Associate Director of LAC to explore their needs. The appointment can be made during the summer or early in the first semester of matriculation. If architectural or extensive accommodations are anticipated, then early disclosure to the Learning Assistance Center is most helpful.
