Nichols College is committed to providing educational and counseling services for students with learning differences. Our goal is to provide resources for students to reach their learning potential.  College students, as adults, have a right to privacy. A student with learning differences decides whether to disclose that fact to the College. Learning Differences accommodations can only be provided if the student contacts the Director of Advising Services and submits the appropriate documentation. Appropriate documentation must include the test scores from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-revised (WAIS-R) or (WAIS-III). Documentation and testing must have been completed within three years prior to the enrollment of the student.

Students with learning differences are welcome to inquire about learning differences services by calling (508) 213-2293, email edward.kolek@nichols.edu, or writing to:
