West Hills College Lemoore again offers free program for disabled students

Applications are being accepted now for the free Academy, which will be held from July 31 to Aug. 4 on the WHCL campus.During the week-long Access Learn Progress Succeed (A.L.P.S) academy, students will identify essential skills needed for college success, how to become an advocate for resources, how to be successful in the classroom, and how to use assistive technology that best meets their needs.

“The transition from high school to college is hard for any student but for a student with a disability and it can be more challenging,” said Maria Gonzalez, WHCL counselor and one of the program coordinators. “The ALPS Academy eases the transition for students with disabilities by teaching learning strategies to successfully compete in the classroom, introducing campus resources, and teaching students how to navigate the college landscape.”

The academy is free for students and lunch will be provided. There are only 22 spots available and the deadline to register is July 14.
To reserve a spot, contact Callie Branan at (559) 925-3345 or calliebranan@whccd.edu.
