Welcome to the OSD Web Site

Welcome to the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD)! The Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs designates the Director of the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) with responsibility for oversight of the OSD on campus which is the sole entity authorized to determine a student's eligibility for accommodations and services by reason of disability. The Director also ensures that the OSD's policies and practices are consistent with all applicable federal and state laws and University policy. Our services are designed to meet the unique educational needs of regularly enrolled students with documented permanent and temporary disabilities. The philosophy and mission of the program is to encourage independence, assist students in realizing their academic potential, and to facilitate the elimination of physical, programmatic, and attitudinal barriers. The OSD staff is here to assist you in meeting your educational challenges successfully. A good introduction to the OSD, which explains how the OSD works and how to obtain services, is available in the OSD Student Handbook.

We have organized the OSD information into the navigational links on the left. If you are using a non-graphical browser, navigational links should appear at the top of every page.
