Disabled Students Services Office

 

The Office of Disabled Student Services (DSS) is a support organization helping students who are disabled to pursue their educational goals while adjusting fully to their new environment. The DSS provides the following services on an individual basis: reading assistance, mobility assistance, note taking, peer counseling, advocacy, and support. Helping with academic procedures such as orientation, financial aid, residence hall arrangements, and placement, the office plugs into all University resources, giving an added dimension to these services. Beyond satisfying the immediate needs of students, the DSS organizes and holds workshops addressing issues of sensitivity and awareness within the University. The Office of Disabled Student Services is open from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily; evening appointments can be arranged on request. If you or your students are in need of any accommodations for events, classes, or other University-related programs or services, please contact the DSS office to make arrangements. The office is located in the basement of Group I, Room 016; phone: 508-999-8711.

 

According to University policy, all faculty members should include a statement for students with disabilities in their syllabi.
