WELCOME TO THE ADAPTS OFFICE

The ADAPTS Office, located in the Office of the Dean of Students (ODOS), provides students with information and support regarding disabilities. Assistance is also available for meeting the requirements of ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The ADAPTS Office assists students who self-identify as having a disability. Official documentation of the disability is required to determine eligibility for accommodations or adaptations that may be helpful on campus.
