The Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) promotes and fac
ilitates educational access for students with disabilities. Our goals:
Support retention and graduation of students with disabilities
Collaborate with students, faculty, staff, and community resources to provide effective academic services
Promote a non-discriminatory campus environment and encourage student development and independence
Each year we serve about 500 to 600 students with various permanent or temporary chronic disabilities that medically, cognitively, or psychologically impede academic processing. These disabilities include:
Learning disabilities
Attention Deficit Disorder
Visual, mobility, or hearing impairments
Psychological disabilities
Chronic systemic disorders (e.g., lupus, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, diabetes)
Fractures, sprains, or stress injuries
