Disability Support Services

Disability Support Services Extends a Warm Welcome to New and Returning Graduate Students!

Loyola University Maryland is committed to eliminating barriers to ensure students with disabilities can fully access all courses, services, and activities included in our graduate programs. If an accommodation is required to address a disability-related barrier, graduate students should register with the Disability Support Services (DSS) office by submitting an online application and documentation of their disability. Documentation is maintained in a confidential manner. Information about the registration process, including documentation guidelines, is available under the “Register” tab on the DSS website. Unsure of what to request or how your disability may impact you once you enter an externship or the clinical component of your program? DSS can help you assess your needs or initiate a conversation with your program director to obtain more information about program requirements. We encourage you to reach out as early as possible, so that reasonable accommodations can be arranged in a timely manner. Accommodations are determined on an individualized, case-by-case basis and may include things such as extended time on exams, a less-distracting testing location, or access to assistive technology in the classroom or externship/clinical site. Students who were approved for accommodations while completing an undergraduate degree at Loyola may be able to continue to receive similar accommodations but should reach out to the DSS office to confirm their needs prior to the start of their program. DSS is located in Room 107, Newman Towers West on the Evergreen Campus. We are happy to schedule virtual appointments, or in-person appointments at a graduate center upon request.
