MISSION STATEMENT

The Office of Disability Services seeks to cultivate an inclusive and accessible university campus through the removal of environmental barriers. Students with a temporary or permanent disability (which may include but are not limited to attention-related, learning, mental health, vision, hearing, physical, or other health impairments) who are in need of accommodations are encouraged to contact the Office of Disability Services.

GOALS

• To provide a safe, comfortable, and caring place of contact and support for students with disabilities.
• To understand the nature of the student’s disability and to implement appropriate accommodations that address the student’s limitations.
• To treat persons with disabilities with dignity and respect, and to view disability issues as matters of diversity.
• To facilitate ongoing and reasonable improvements in areas of structural access, assistive technology, accommodation availability, community education, and administrative advocacy.
