Student Disability Support Services
What Does This Do?
The Office of Institutional Equity works to promote diversity and inclusion through fostering an open, accessible and inclusive learning and working environment. We strive to create and maintain a campus free of all barriers. Pittsburg State University is committed to ensuring that qualified individuals with disabilities are not denied the benefits of, excluded from participation in, or otherwise subjected to discrimination in employment, educational programs and all activities of the University.
The University acknowledges its responsibilities under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Those obligations include providing reasonable accommodation to otherwise qualified persons who have a disability as defined by the ADA. It is the responsibility of persons with a disability to notify the University of that disability and the need for accommodation. Assistance and/or documentation from qualified experts may be necessary to determine whether an accommodation requested is reasonable.
Student Disability Accommodation
Located in Student Success Programs, 113 Axe Library, Student Accommodations is responsible for ensuring that currently enrolled students with documented learning and physical disabilities are provided the tools, appropriate accommodations, and support from the University to fully participate in all aspects of campus life.
