Mission

In collaboration with the university community, Disability Services ensures that students with disabilities receive reasonable accommodations and services to participate equally in the academic environment.

Vision

Philosophy

Disability Services provides leadership and guidance regarding accommodations and universal access, which requires a collaborative relationship among all members of the university community.

Core Values

  • Human variation is natural and vital in the development of dynamic communities
  • Building and using an academic success toolkit (i.e., self-advocacy skills, resources, various study strategies) is essential for all students
  • Responsibility for meaningful and universal access belongs to all
  • A diverse and stimulating university community is a shared responsibility; disability is diversity
  • Universal design is essential for achieving inclusion and social participation of all
