An accommodation is a modification in the way things are usually done, with the goal of allowing students with disabilities an equal opportunity to participate in the university’s programs. There are two types of accommodations at Wingate University: academic and non-academic.
Academic accommodations are related to learning and evaluation in an academic program or particular class. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following:

Non-academic accommodations are those related to university activities, jobs, facilities and services not considered academic. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following:
