Student experiences
...
in Academic Achievement
- A senior who used the services of Disability Services found the extended test-taking time was just the accommodation she needed to demonstrate her knowledge of the subject to the professor.
- Another student recently received a B+ in a math class because of the collaborative work between Disability Services and the subject tutors.
Success like this is common among the students who are connecting with CAPSS with Academic Achievement and getting the assistance they need to move through the academic process at UNW!
