The mission of the Student Services Office is to provide and coordinate relevant services that ensure students with disabilities, veterans, and non-traditional students equal access to Washburn University programs.
Disability Services
The Student Services Office is responsible for assisting in arranging accommodations and for identifying resources on campus for students with disabilities. Qualified students with disabilities must register with the office to be eligible for services. The office MUST have current documentation on file in order to provide services. Accommodations, based on individual needs, may include in-class note takers, test readers and/or scribes, adaptive computer technology, or brailled materials. Requests for accommodations should be submitted at least two months before services should begin; however, if you need an accommodation this semester, please contact the Student Services Office immediately.
Students may voluntarily identify themselves to the instructor for a referral to the Student Services Office.

Veterans
To apply and establish entitlement for Veterans Administration educational benefit programs, the applicant should contact the Student Services Office at Washburn, or call the VA at 1-888-442-4551. Program eligibility general ceases ten years from the date of the veteran’s release from active duty.
Eligible recipients of educational assistance must certify their enrollment each semester through the Student Services Office to assure continuous benefits. When changes in enrollment occur, such as dropping courses, not attending class, or not formally withdrawing from the University, the student must submit a report of mitigating circumstances. The VA expects the veterans to pursue an educational objective, regularly attend classes, and make satisfactory progress.
Non-Traditional Students
Students are invited to visit with an advisor on any non-traditional related questions or concerns.
