Disabilities policy
The University of Missouri's Office of Disability Services (ODS) provides accommodations and support services to ensure that students with disabilities have the opportunity to competitively pursue a college education. To request course accommodations (for example, a note taker), students must be registered with ODS at S5 Memorial Union, 573-882-4696 (voice), 573-882-8054 (TTY).
The Office of Disability Services is responsible for reviewing documentation provided by students requesting academic accommodations, and for accommodations planning in cooperation with students and instructors, as needed and consistent with course requirements. Students seeking services must initiate contact with the ODS. To receive academic accommodations, students must re-activate their files each semester and notify appropriate course faculty of this activation. Registration and documentation are required well in advance to assure the ODS time to plan, implement, and notify faculty of student accommodations. Faculty will implement this plan when notified.
Another resource, MU’s Adaptive Computing Technology Center, 573-884-2828, is available to provide computing assistance to students with disabilities. For more information about rights of people with disabilities, please visit the ADA Coordinator Web site or call 573-884-7278.
