Prospective Student Visits

Prospective student visits are available to students who are interested in learning more about services at DRC. During these visits we offer general information about DRC, explain how to connect with our office, discuss differences between services in high school and those at WIU, and answer your questions. If you are planning to visit the campus and would like to meet with a DRC staff member to learn more about our services, please call 309-298-2512 or email disability@wiu.edu in advance to schedule an appointment with a staff member.

Alternative Admissions

WIU has an admission and advising program for students who do not meet the regular admission requirements based on ACT composite scores and grade point averages. This is not a program specifically for students with disabilities and is not a service provided by DRC. For more information about the alternative admission process, please visit Academic Services.

Liaison with DHS/DRS and Referrals to Appropriate Agencies

DRC will help arrange contact with the DHS/DRS. Students have the option to seek services from their home area or from the counselors who are available in Macomb. In addition, DRC will make appropriate referrals to various campus and community sources.

Accessible Housing

Accessible on-campus housing is available. Students interested in receiving housing accommodations must indicate the need for ADA accessibility on their housing application and submit the Housing Accommodation Request Form to DRC.
