To whom it may concern:

This is in response to your OPRA request received March 16, 2020.

Warren County Community College does not offer mental health services. We are a small community college that refers students to regional organizations.

As an open access institution, we do not award official leaves of absences as students can be readmitted every semester.

We do not record student accommodations by any category (such as mental health issues). We accommodate students based on the recommendations in the student's supporting documentation.

Students who must take medical leave during the semester can request a medical withdrawal, including special financial considerations. We do not require students to identify the medical issues, so we have no way of knowing the number of students who fall into the category you are requesting.

WCCC has been directed to close due to Covid-19. We will not be able to respond to future OPRA requests until our facilities re-open.
