Wallace State Community College does not discriminate against individuals with disabilities. Our website aims to align with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, developing electronic information for equitable access to individuals with disabilities that is comparable to that provided for individuals without disabilities.

To move toward that goal, we are utilizing compliant validation product SiteImproveTM to implement A and AA-level objectives and are immediately addressing priority issues such as alt tags, non-distinguishable links, heading hierarchies and more. Our efforts include the following public domains: 

• www.wallacestate.edu

Copies of all materials are available in large type upon request. Also, the content of this website will be read to any person making the request.

Other websites in the college web space, or those of individuals and specific groups that might be public or private, are not included under our legal mandate although we encourage all employees and groups to make all web content accessible.
