Disability Services

The Office for Disability Services (DS) is responsible for achieving and maintaining program accessibility for all students who self-identify as having an officially documented disability (Rehabilitation Act, Section 504 and Americans with Disability Act). Students are encouraged to become self-advocates; however, the Office for Disability Services provides leadership in advocating for removal of altitudinal and physical barriers that may impede successful progression toward achievement of the student's educational objectives.

Students requesting service through the Office for Disability Services (DS) must submit all documentation and meet all eligibility requirements each semester. Services are determined based on individual assessment, but generally involve academic adjustments that will support the student's access to programs and services within the University.

For information about the complaint and appeal procedure and other services available from the Office for Disability Services (DSS), visit Evans Hall, Room 315 or call 936.857.2610.
