Accessibility Services Office

Equal Educational Opportunity

The Accessibility Services Office partners with students to create individualized plans, connect them with campus resources, and empower them to be their own advocates. Our goal is to remove barriers, ensuring that our students have equal access throughout their college experience. Accessibility Services also works with faculty and staff to promote awareness across campus.
