Office of Student Accessibility Services
About
The Office of Student Accessibility Services will provide resources and referral information to meet the needs of our students, faculty, and staff. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the Office of Student Accessibility Services to request academic accommodations for their educational program. Advance notice of the need for academic accommodation can help to ensure that there is adequate time to review the request and determine each request on a case-by-case basis. Federal law requires that instructors make reasonable academic adjustments to accommodate the needs of students with disabilities to provide equal educational access and avoid discrimination. In providing an academic accommodation, the University does not have to eliminate or lower essential requirements, make modifications that would result in a fundamental alteration of programs or activities, or impose an undue burden on the institution.
Mission
The Office of Student Accessibility Services staff members interact and collaborate with faculty, staff, and students to achieve a balanced learning environment for students with disabilities at Tarleton State University.
