Evaluation of Eligibility
In order to be eligible for accommodations through SAO, you must:
- Have a disability that substantially limits one or more major life activities that includes, but is not limited to, walking, talking, learning, hearing or seeing.
- Have and provide current and appropriate information/documentation of such a disability, when necessary.
Communication and Confidentiality
Our staff may need to communicate with WCTC faculty and staff who have a legitimate educational interest in order to coordinate and facilitate accommodations on your behalf. Such communication is permitted under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
You must provide written consent before SAO may disclose information to individuals outside of the institution (i.e. parents, spouse, DVR counselor, therapist, doctor, etc.). Disability status, diagnostic information and/or indication of the use of accommodations is not shown on WCTC transcripts. SAO will not re-release disability documentation records to any third party.

This includes WCTC’s services, employment programs and educational programs. The lack of English skills will not be a barrier to admission and participation in College programs.
We prohibit retaliation against individuals who bring forth any complaint and against any individuals who assist or participate in the investigation of any complaint or who otherwise oppose discrimination.
