Office of Student Accessibility Services (OSAS)

Welcome new and returning students!

As the Spring semester ends, remember accommodations do not roll over from semester to semester. We recommend that in August, students call us at 508-999-8711 to schedule your intake appointment.  

  1. If you're new to our office or changing your accommodations, please submit documentation by email at access_success@umassd.edu. Review documentation guidelines.
  2. During your appointment, you'll meet with the director to discuss your accommodations, ask questions about how accommodations work, and what to expect.
  3. Students will also read and sign our Student Responsibility Contract. 

Equity for all

The Office of Student Accessibility Services, oversees the University’s compliance with the legal mandates expressed in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 for students with documented disabilities.

Students who have documented disabilities on our campus are afforded a variety of services to accommodate their individual needs. UMass Dartmouth strives to ensure complete access to University academic programs. 

Simply schedule an appointment with us to discuss your unique needs. The Office of Student Accessibility Services is located in Pine Dale Hall, Room 7136. When you arrive at Pine Dale Hall please use the call box and dial ext. 8711 and a staff member will meet you at the entrance to open the door.
