Westminster College was one of the first collegiate institutions in the country to offer a program for students with learning disabilities and takes pride in the achievements of those graduates who were supported by the program. The Learning Disabilities Program provides an educationally supportive environment for students who have been clinically diagnosed as learning disabled. All students who plan to enroll in the program must:
Submit 4 teacher recommendations (forms are included with the application);
Submit 1 counselor recommendation (form included with the application);
Submit official secondary school transcripts showing all courses and grades through at least the junior year (sixth semester) and including 9th grade;
Submit official untimed ACT or SAT scores; and Complete and submit the diagnostic testing report including the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). The testing must have been completed within the last 2 years.
Selected candidates will be required to interview on-campus with the Learning Disabilities Staff. The interview includes testing done by the Learning Disabilities Staff. Students admitted to the Learning Disabilities Program are charged a special fee for participation in the program.
For an application or more information, please contact the Office of Admissions at 573-592-5251 or 1-800-475-3361. Because there is limited enrollment and additional forms are required, you should submit the application materials early in your senior year.
