Students with Disabilities

Williams Technical Institute (WTC) does not discriminate against students and applicants based on disability, in the administration of its educational and other programs. WTC reasonably accommodates qualified students (including applicants) with disabilities as defined by applicable law, if the individual is otherwise qualified to meet the fundamental requirements and aspects of the program of WTC, without undue hardship to the WTC.  For purposes of reasonable accommodation, a student or applicant with a disability is a person who has learning, a physical or psychological impairment that limits one or more major life activities (such as walking, seeing, speaking, learning, or working).

To be eligible to continue at WTC, the student or applicant must meet the qualifications and requirements expected generally of its students and must also be able to perform the requirements of the individual’s major or program in which he/she is enrolled.

A qualified student or applicant is an individual with a disability, as defined by this policy and applicable law, who meets the academic and technical standards. Accommodations such modifications are reasonable accommodations that will not alter the fundamental nature of programs. Accommodations do not include exemption from academic evaluation standards or the code of student conduct.
