Accommodation Statement

Johnson & Wales University (JWU) supports all students’ academic needs.  Students with documented disabilities interested in accommodations and/or auxiliary services must contact Accessibility Services, meet with an Accessibility Services advisor, and together complete an Accommodation Agreement.  Students are encouraged to speak privately with their professors regarding their academic accommodations.  Contact Accessibility Services at https://academicsupport.jwu.edu for campus-specific information including office location and contact number.

JWU Libraries believe education needs to be available to everyone, which means we support the creation of free, open, and accessible educational resources. We are actively committed to increasing the accessibility and usability of the OER produced at JWU.
