Office of Student Accessibility Services (OSAS)

Spring semester is staring soon!

With the spring semester coming up, it's important to remember to contact us to schedule an intake appointment.

Accommodations do not roll over from semester to semester. It's important that you schedule an appointment with us. After the 1st of January, you can contact the office to schedule an appointment. Call us at 508.999.8771 to speak to someone about scheduling. 

1.) Call the office to make an appointment. 

2.) If you're new to our office or changing your accommodations, please submit documentation by email at access_success@umassd.edu. You can find documentation guidelines here. 

3.) During your appointment, you'll meet with the director to discuss your accommodations. This is also where you can ask questions about how accommodations work or what to expect. 

4.) At the end of your appointment, you will also read through and sign our student responsibility contract. 

UMassD students, looking for a club?

OSAS is looking for individuals who identify as neurodiverse or allies to run and join a Neurodiversity Club. The aim of this club is to help people find friends and engage in fun activities. The club members would vote on activities or events to do! However, we can't have a club without students. We need students to fulfill the leadership roles and have students attend the club. If you're interested in being part of the club or in helping to run the club, please email us at access_success@umassd.edu. 

Help us create a fun and inviting space!

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.

The Office of Student Accessibility Services works with faculty, staff, and students to ensure that appropriate academic adjustments are made that allow all students equity inside the classroom. 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.
