Access Services for Students with Disabilities

The role of Access Services for Students with Disabilities (ASSD) is to assist in providing an accessible environment and equality of educational opportunities for students with documented disabilities. The goal is to focus on a student's ability, not the disability

The ASSD office operates under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Legally mandated access and accommodations are available to all qualified students who self-identify with ASSD. Students must provide documentation by a qualified professional (including but not limited to an IEP/504 plan) that can verify the functional impact of the disability as well as recommendations for appropriate accommodations. The information provided by students is voluntary and confidential. To arrange for appropriate accommodations, students need to contact the ASSD office.
