Disability Services is firmly committed to ensuring that qualified students with documented disabilities are provided with an equal opportunity to participate in the variety of educational, recreational and social opportunities at UT Dallas. Disability Services primary functions are to provide:
- academic accommodations for students with a documented permanent physical, mental or sensory disability
- non-academic accommodations
- resource and referral information and advocacy support as necessary and appropriate.
Non-academic accommodations must meet the same standards regarding documentation as academic accommodations. Academic accommodations for each student are determined by the Disability Services Coordinator on an individual basis with input from qualified professionals.
Services Available
The Office of Disability Services will provide any reasonable academic accommodation that a student needs due to his or her disability.
