Student Affairs > SSD >Policies

Services for Students with Disabilities has established policies and procedures to help facilitate reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities to provide equal access and avoid discrimination. Policy and procedures have been review by the vice president for student affairs, General Counsel, and the SSD Student Advisory Board. The policy should be rigid enough to provide a supportive infrastructure to build quality services and should be flexible enough to allow for individual differences and the creativity to meet the needs of the student with a disability.
