Student Disability and Accessibility Support
We work together to make sure students with disabilities have the tools they need to fully access all aspects of their education, in and out of the classroom. Part of the Office of Equal Opportunity, Student Accessibility Services facilitates accommodations, advocates for students with disabilities and serves as an educational resource for the University community.
Accommodations
Accommodations are individualized modifications or adjustments to the academic or campus environment. Student Accessibility Services uses an interactive process to determine reasonable and appropriate accommodations. Accommodations are based on the nature of the disability and are determined on a case-by-case basis. Examples of some accommodations are:
- Testing accommodations
- Notetaking
- Assistive technologies
- Alternative formats
- Interpreters and captioning
- Priority registration
- Priority seating
- Housing and meal plan accommodations
If you are seeking accommodations for the first time, learn about the process and find the forms you’ll need.
Students with approved accommodations need to renew them each semester using the Semester Request process.
If you have an issue with your accommodations or need to report discrimination, find out your next steps.
Faculty, find out about your part in student accommodations.
