Office of Student Disability Services
The Office of Student Disability Services empowers students to manage challenges and limitations imposed by disabilities. Our professionally trained staff provides students with exceptional services as they transition to college or continue their studies at the University. The office serves students with learning, physical, health, or psychiatric disabilities in managing the varying demands of the University experience. In addition to serving students, the staff assists the University community in making programs, services, and activities accessible for everyone.
For registered students, visit the Registered Students page for service forms and additional information.
For prospective students with a documented disability, you should start the registration process as soon as you are admitted to the University. Please visit the Prospective Students page for more information.
Announcements
- Placement Testing: Many students with disabilities have the option of taking the Math and Foreign Language placement tests with extended time. In order to receive this accommodation, students must register with our office. While attendance at our mandatory orientation would not be necessary to receive testing accommodations, the student must still submit an Application for Services as well as the appropriate supporting documentation for review. After both items are reviewed, the student will be contacted regarding the appropriate accommodations for placement testing if requested. Visit our Prospective Student page for more information.
