Academic Support

Center for Academic Support

The Center for Academic Support is available on the North Miami, Denver, and Charlotte campuses. For  Providence campus or College of Online Education students, please see the Academic Success Center or Accessibility Services for these services.

JWU is dedicated to providing reasonable accommodations to allow students with learning, physical or other disabilities and/or chronic health conditions to succeed in their academic pursuits. While maintaining the highest academic integrity, the university strives to balance scholarship with support services that assist students with disabilities with accessing the university’s academic environment.

Advisors from the Center for Academic Support meet with self-identified students to discuss their disabilities, educational pursuits, and through an interactive process develop a plan for reasonable accommodations.

Because some programs of study at the university have technical standards and requirements, applicants and students with disabilities should contact the Center for Academic Support to discuss the availability of reasonable accommodations or to obtain documentation guidelines, when appropriate.

For further information regarding available reasonable accommodations and the accommodations procedure, visit the Center for Academic Services website or call the Center for Academic Support at the appropriate campus.

Food Allergy Accommodation Requests for College of Culinary Arts and College of Hospitality Management Students

The College of Culinary Arts and the College of Hospitality Management have technical standards that must be met for participation in their academic programs. All College of Culinary Arts programs and some College of Hospitality Management programs include the requirement that the student, with or without reasonable accommodations, must be able to safely and effectively produce and evaluate the quality of all food and beverage products, and maneuver in professional or commercial kitchens, dining rooms and related facilities.

Applicants with a food allergy who have been accepted for admission to JWU and intend to pursue studies in the College of Culinary Arts or the College of Hospitality Management are strongly urged to call or visit the Center for Academic Support prior to attending their first class to discuss any reasonable accommodations that might be available during their academic studies. While the university will provide reasonable accommodations in compliance with applicable law, the university cannot guarantee it will be able to meet all requests for accommodations or remove allergens from its curriculum.
