Schedule a Pre-Service Interview

Once all documentation materials have been received and reviewed, you will be contacted by Disability Services to schedule a pre-service interview.

The pre-service interview is designed to discuss:

  1. services a student is eligible to receive based upon the documentation submitted,
  2. disability-related needs, and
  3. preparations for attending college.

The student and their parents are invited to attend the pre-service interview, which should be scheduled prior to entering Wright State.  This meeting will be held with a professional staff member of Disability Services.

Note:

Wright State has adopted a college preparatory curriculum policy. Because our program is supportive in nature rather than remedial, we have found that students with disabilities who are most successful at the university level have taken a college preparatory curriculum in high school. If a student has completed a general high school curriculum, we recommend that consideration be given to entering a two-year college, as a more realistic path to Wright State University.
