Student Accessibility Services (SAS) coordinates the provision of reasonable accommodations and support services to students with documented disabilities. We also support the ongoing development of an accessible university that embraces diversity through educational programming, resources, and facilities that are usable by all members of the campus community. Our ongoing work is rooted in both the social model of individual accommodations as well as the community partnerships of inclusive design projects and disability justice.
