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. 

Mission

Student Accessibility Services (SAS) works to ensure that students with disabilities have an equal opportunity to participate fully in their educational experience by facilitating accommodations, discourse, and engagement. 

Vision

SAS aims to empower Converse students toward self-advocacy, independence, and personal responsibility while providing disability-related education and guidance to the campus community.

Values

Inclusion, Empowerment, and Integrity
