About Us
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
We envision a fully accessible, integrated, and universally designed campus community. Students with disabilities are one of the many groups that make up our campus community and a diverse community broadens our understanding and appreciation for the contributions of each individual.
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
