Student Accessibility Services

The Office of Student Accessibility Services (SAS) is located in the Student Services Office in Founders Hall and provides assistance to students with varying degrees/types of disabilities in order to maximize educational opportunity and academic potential.

 

Mission

SAS provides access and support by removing barriers and empowering students through education, collaboration, and advocacy.

Vision

To advance the holistic success of students with disabilities by creating intentionally designed physical, educational, and interpersonal experiences.

Types of disabilities that qualify for services include, but are not limited to:

  • Visual, hearing and speech
  • Specific learning disabilities such as ADD/ADHD/SLD
  • Chronic health disorders
  • Psychological disabilities
  • Physiological disorders
  • Temporary disabilities

The Americans with Disabilities Act stipulates that students must advocate (self-identify) for themselves, not through their parents or any other agent. Colleges and universities provide appropriate accommodations to enhance access. Unlike high schools which are regulated under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) colleges do not provide curricular modifications. The applicable laws for higher education are the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

Accommodations are based upon appropriate medical, psychological and/or educational documentation. New students should four to six weeks prior to the beginning of a semester so there is time to arrange accommodations. Accommodation determinations are based on dialogue with the student and on documentation provided. We get information about students in three ways: the , meeting with the student, and information from your high school or other providers. We may ask for documentation from a mental health or medical provider if we need more information. If you do not have appropriate documentation already, you may use this Disability Verification Form which is completed by a medical or mental health professional.

SAS supports students in their right to file a grievance when they believe they have been denied equal access or have experienced discriminatory harassment as defined in the University's nondiscrimination policies, Ohio Revised Code 4112, Sections 501 & 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Complaints should be immediately brought to the attention of SAS staff. The SAS Office will serve as the University's primary point of contact in initially reviewing student disability related matters.
