Disabled Students Program and Academic Accommodations

Disabled Students Program: Providing academic accommodations to students with disabilities is a shared responsibility of the campus. Students with disabilities are responsible for ensuring that the Disabled Students Program (DSP) is aware of their disabilities and for providing DSP with appropriate documentation. The Disabled Students Program is available to consult with faculty who have students with disabilities in their classes. Faculty are required to comply with the University’s obligations under the ADA to provide students with disabilities access to all academic programs. DSP is located in 2120 Student Resource Building and serves as the campus liaison regarding issues and regulations related to students with disabilities. The DSP staff works in an advisory capacity with a variety of campus departments to ensure that equal access is provided to all disabled students.
