This office exists primarily to help students with disabilities. It provides a variety of services and reasonable accommodations that are intended to reduce the effects a disability may have on students' performance in a traditional academic setting. Services do not lower course standards or alter degree requirements, but instead give students a better chance to demonstrate their academic abilities.
Any student can initiate a request for services.
Simply register with our office, and provide information that documents the disability. Our staff will help in selecting services that are an appropriate accommodation. We can also assist students who suspect they may have a learning disability. Students are assisted in selecting courses while taking into consideration their disabilities. When needed, assistance is provided in relating the nature of the student's disability to faculty and others in promoting accommodations appropriate to the specific situation.
