Is assistance available if a student has a disability and needs accommodations?
Students with disabilities are eligible to register with Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) in the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement. Students seeking accommodations must submit documentation of their disability to SSD and complete an intake interview. Students can schedule an intake appointment by telephoning 512-471-6259 or Videophone: 1-866-329-3986. The intake interview involves the student meeting with an appropriate disability specialist who will review the student’s documentation, history of accommodations and determine whether additional information is required. A student is eligible for accommodations, after the student has completed the intake interview, submitted the appropriate documentation, and completed an Acceptance of Services form.
