Wesleyan administrators are constrained by FERPA (as amended, it is commonly known as the Buckley Amendment) and cannot share confidential details about a student unless the student has given permission. In Wesleyan’s interpretation, the terms of FERPA also extend to conversations with parents. Please contact the class deans with any questions about confidentiality.

Wesleyan University is committed to ensuring that all qualified students with disabilities are afforded an equal opportunity to participate in, and benefit from, its programs and services. To this end, Wesleyan complies with applicable state and federal laws, including Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which states, "No otherwise qualified individual with a disability in the United States ... shall, solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance..." The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as Amended (ADA) extends some of these stated provisions.

If a student has a disability, or thinks that they might have a disability, please encourage them to contact Accessibility Services in order to arrange an appointment to discuss their needs and the process for requesting accommodations. Since accommodations may require early planning and generally are not provided retroactively, please encourage students to contact Accessibility Services as soon as possible. Accessibility Services is located in North College, rooms 024/218, or can be reached by email at accessibility@wesleyan.edu.
