In addition to faculty advising, each student is encouraged to utilize the expertise of the faculty and student life staff to develop a curricular and cocurricular program that is consistent with his or her goals. You are also encouraged to reflect on your goals, academic plan, and cocurricular activities and modify them to acquire the required capabilities for effective citizenry, leadership, and a life of learning. You may discuss these plans with your deans, faculty advisors, and with members of the administrative support staff.

We take great pride in the broad range of academic resources provided to enhance your experience. Each Wesleyan student has to adjust to change and respond to academic, social, and cultural changes. As you think about your goals and needs, and how to respond appropriately to new experiences and challenges, please use this section of the Student Handbook to identify people, services, and programs that will help you develop effective strategies and appropriate decision-making.

Wesleyan University is committed to supporting all students in their academic and co-curricular endeavors. Each semester, a significant number of students document disabilities, which may require accommodations, modifications or adjustments to ensure access to education, housing, and recreation. Although Wesleyan does not offer special academic programs for individuals with disabilities, the University does provide services, modifications and adjustments to all students who need and have a legal entitlement to such accommodations.

The following services are available to assist all students, including students with disabilities:

• Writing Workshop Peer Mentoring Program: This program is open to all students and is directed by Anne Greene. Students with disabilities are encouraged to use writing mentors, a special program funded by the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs.
• Math Workshops
• Time Management Workshops
• Student tutors for individual courses when needed.
