Student Accessibility Services (formerly Disability Support Services): The University of Detroit Mercy is committed to providing equitable access to learning opportunities for all students. Student Accessibility Services collaborates with students who have disabilities to arrange effective accommodations. If you encounter any barrier(s) to full participation in this course due to the impact of your disability, please contact the Student Accessibility Services at sas@udmercy.edu or 313-993-1158. Our office is located on the 3rd floor of the McNichols Campus Library in the Student Success Center. We will confidentially discuss the barriers you are experiencing and explain the eligibility process for establishing academic accommodations. It is important that if you require an academic accommodation due to a documented disability, emergency medical condition, temporary disability or require special arrangements to be proactive in this process by requesting the accommodations before or at the start of every semester.
