Student Handbook
The Texas Wesleyan University Student Handbook is published annually by the University and is available on the website and in the Office of Student Life. It contains policies, procedures, and regulations developed by students, faculty, and administrative personnel of the University. The purpose of the handbook is to set forth the standards of conduct Texas Wesleyan expects of its students, to inform the student body of individual and group rights and responsibilities, and to describe the due-process procedures to be followed when citizenship violations occur. The handbook contains extensive information that is intended to acquaint the student with various aspects of University life and to serve as a guide to University services and activities.
It is important that the student become acquainted with the contents of the Student Handbook since enrollment at Texas Wesleyan is considered by the University as an implicit declaration of the acceptance of the rules and regulations contained therein.
Copies of the Student Handbook may be obtained from the Office of Student Life.
Students with Disabilities and Non-Discrimination on the Basis of Gender (Policy and Procedures)
Texas Wesleyan University complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 regarding its students with disabilities. Texas Wesleyan University also complies with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and does not discriminate against students on the basis of gender. It is the policy of Texas Wesleyan University that no student shall be denied access to or participation in the services, programs, and activities of the University solely on the basis of her/his disability or gender.
PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING ACADEMIC ACCOMMODATION
The University shall provide, upon request, academic adjustments for students who have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity. An academic adjustment is defined by this policy as any reasonable accommodation for a student’s disability as required by federal regulations.
If a student with a disability requires an adjustment, the student must present relevant, verifiable, professional documentation or assessment reports, confirming the existence of the disability, to the Director of Disability Accommodations Services (817/531-7565) for review. Further documentation may be required to confirm the disability claim or to assist the University in determining the appropriate academic adjustment. Following its review, the Director will reach a determination regarding the existence of the disability for purposes of providing an academic adjustment. Information concerning a student's disability will be treated in a confidential manner in accordance with University policy as well as applicable federal and state law.
