Disability Services
If a student has learning, physical, psychological or medical challenges, we make sure reasonable accommodations are met.
Success is achieved through individual work, working with peers and reaching out for guidance.
At the Banacos Academic Center, Westfield State University students support each other through tutoring and studying together. All students are welcome to use the spacious tutoring room and the computer labs located in the Center just across from the D.C. and next to Parenzo Gym.
