Are you interested in being connected with the Office of Accessibility? The Office of Accessibility provides reasonable accommodations and a supportive, well-resourced environment to students with disabilities in order to promote student success in the university environment. It is important to connect with office early on to start the process for support and accommodations. Students are encouraged to start that process by May, or three months prior to the first day of your first semester. Though students may start the registration process at any time, delaying the start of the registration process could prevent students from scheduling an Intake, and having an accommodation plan prior to the start of the semester. To start the registration process visit our Accessibility website.
