Located in the Student Services Building Suite 218, the Office of Academic and Disabilities Services exists to address the academic needs of students at Wheaton College. It strives to recognize and develop the God-given strengths of each student, providing services both for students needing academic assistance and for those dealing with learning, physical or mental health challenges.
Accommodation and documentation information can be accessed on this website or by contacting the Office of Academic and Disabilities Services. As we desire to provide the best possible support to students, it is important for students to request accommodations and provide documentation in a timely manner as accommodations cannot be given retroactively.
In addition, through workshops and one-on-one counseling, students are offered the opportunity to improve existing skills, to develop new strategies, and to maximize their learning experience.
A series of workshops are offered each year in the areas of time management, college reading and note-taking, college writing and research, exam preparation, procrastination and perfectionism.
Individual meetings are available by appointment to offer accountability, coaching and accommodation advocacy.
