Things to consider

A disability can be physical, sensory, a learning disability, mental health disorder or short term disabilities like injuries. If you are not sure whether you have a disability, you can confidentially contact Accessibility Services with your questions.

Tips

For all new students, it is best to register with Accessibility Services before your semester begins. To register, you will need to provide documentation like a doctor’s note.

For returning students, you will need to renew your registration with Accessibility Services each year, either online or in-person.
