The Office of Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) provides reasonable academic accommodations to disabled undergraduate and graduate students. The SSD office is the primary point of contact at the university for disabled students seeking academic or housing accommodations.
At SSD, we believe that barriers are usually created by the environment, not by a disabled person’s diagnosis or situation.
Some examples of environmental design include:
- The way a building or office space is set up and how easily it can be reached
- Rules and steps for using the resources in an office, program, or service
- How faculty teach classes and how students are tested
- Whether videos have captions or not
- The attitudes people have and how society’s awareness affects disabled people
SSD works to find and remove these access barriers, include disabled people in every part of university life, and lower the need for individual accommodations. Upon request, the university will provide reasonable academic accommodation(s) to otherwise qualified students as required by law to ensure equal access to educational opportunities.
