Disability Support Services
Welcome to Disability Support Services!
Ave Maria University is committed to ensuring that all qualified individuals with disabilities have the opportunity to take part in educational and employment programs and services on an equal basis. It is the policy of Ave Maria University to extend reasonable accommodations to known limitations of qualified individuals with documented disability. The documentation specified in the Disability Policy and Documentation page must be submitted along with the Request for Accommodations forms to the Disability Support Services office 30 days prior to the start of classes.
Students requesting services to compensate for a disability must meet with a Disability Counselor within the first two weeks of the start of classes. It is the responsibility of individuals with disabilities to make their needs known and to provide appropriate documentation of a disability. Accordingly, Ave Maria University will adhere to all applicable federal and state laws, regulations, and guidelines with respect to providing reasonable physical and academic accommodations for the purpose of affording equal access and opportunity to qualified individuals with a documented disability. Reasonable accommodations are made on an individual and flexible basis, and will be provided in a timely and cost effective manner.
Services Include:
- Confidential interview and record management
- Counselor assistance to facilitate the provision of applicable accommodations
- Learning resource lab with computer equipment and adaptive software programs such as Kurzweil 3000.
Reminder!
Make an appointment to meet with the Disability Support Services Coordinator, Sharon O'Reilly, if you need accommodations for Exams!
