Welcome – Undergraduate, Graduate, Professional & Liberal Studies, Distance Learning Students
We are very proud of the programs and services offered for students with a learning, physical or psychological disability. I am especially pleased with the demonstrated commitment on the part of the University Community to provide an environment that is accessible to all students. The cooperation and willingness of the faculty and staff to provide accommodations and accessibility is impressive.
In accordance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) and The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities coordinates support services and recommends “reasonable academic adjustments” based on the needs of the students as supported by documentation that is appropriate and current (within 3 years). The Office is responsible for promoting access to facilities and programs, ensuring equal educational opportunities, acting as an informational and referral source, providing counseling and serving as a liaison between faculty and student.
If you have or suspect that you may have a learning, physical or psychological disability I strongly encourage you to contact the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities for information. The procedure for registering with the office is a simple one.
Obtain a copy of your documentation, contact the office and discuss your need for academic accommodations or accessibility. It is the student’s responsibility to notify the Office for Students with Disabilities early during the admissions process or during the first week of the semester if they will be requesting consideration for accommodations. All contacts are confidential and we are here to help.
