Office of Support for Students with Disabilities
Mission Statement:
The Office of Support for Students with Disabilities works together
with students, faculty, staff, and community to support the educational
goals of students with disabilities. This is done by:
- Certifying and coordinating reasonable and effective accommodations
to provide access for persons with disabilities
- Minimizing physical and attitudinal barriers
- Building relationships and resources within the University and
larger community.
Ultimately, we envision a University community that values the
contributions of all members regardless of disability and provides
the opportunity for them to realize their greatest potential.
In all its activities, OSSD seeks to balance the rights and responsibilities
for both the student and the University within a philosophical framework
that stresses student independence and self-reliance.
