Access Center
Equal access
At WSU Vancouver, Access Center staff members work with students, staff and faculty to ensure equal access throughout the university. They arrange services and academic accommodations for students with documented disabilities. We answer questions and assist with understanding reasonable accommodations and accessible services.
Please be aware that we do not have a transportation program or wheelchairs available for students with disabilities.
