Disability Services

Disability Support Services is an element of the office of Student Services. Our goal is to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504). Congress subsequently expanded protection for people with disabilities under the ADA through passage of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA). White Earth Tribal and Community College (WETCC) uses “the ADA” to refer to both the original 1990 Act and the 2008 amendments. The ADA makes it illegal to discriminate against someone because of a disability.

White Earth Tribal and Community College will provide reasonable accommodations, promote an inclusive campus environment, and encourage student independence. Reasonable accommodations are afforded to eligible students and are individualized to address specific functional limitations based on the documentation provided by a certified/licensed professional.

Students requesting accommodations at White Earth Tribal College must contact Student Services. To be eligible for reasonable accommodations, the student must have a documented disability that significantly interferes with access to the curriculum, services or programs at WETCC.

The student needs to:
     • Submit current documentation of the disability as soon as possible after engaging in enrollment process.
     • Meet with the Dean of Student Services to identify the functional limitations of the disability based on the documented       
        disability in order to determine reasonable accommodations. Additional accommodations may be determined once the
        student has begun classes and determines there is a related barrier which prevents equal access.


Students’ Rights
Every otherwise qualified student with a documented disability has the following rights:

     1. Equal access to courses, programs, services, jobs, activities and facilities available through the college or university.

     2. Reasonable and appropriate accommodations, academic adjustments, and/or auxiliary aids determined by the institution
          on a case-by-case and/or course-by-course basis.

     3. Appropriate confidentiality of all information pertaining to the disability with the choice of to whom to disclose the
         disability, except as required by law.
​
     4. Information reasonably available in accessible formats.
