The Educational Access Center ensures that students with disabilities have equitable access to their education. The Center works with students who have self-identified as having a disability to identify and remove educational and programmatic barriers. Barriers and solutions are determined on a case-by-case basis through interactive discussions with the student. Documentation of a disability might be required to clarify the students’ needs. The Center also supports faculty in identifying barriers and implementing accommodations to create an accessible learning environment.
