Disability Support Services

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

Do you have a history of receiving disability-related accommodations at another college or on a job?

Do you have a chronic illness or a physical or mental health condition which may impact how you perform certain academic tasks or clinical work?

If you answered “yes” to either of the above questions, we encourage you to contact Disability Support Services (DSS) to discuss whether you may want to request accommodations in order to have equal access to the courses, programs and services offered in your graduate program.

Students can request accommodations by submitting an online application and documentation of their disability. Documentation is maintained confidentially by the DSS office. Information about the registration process, including our documentation guidelines, is available under the “Register” tab on our 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 get more information about program requirements. We encourage you to reach out to us 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.

DSS is located in Room 107, Newman Towers West on the Evergreen Campus. We can, upon request, schedule appointments at the Columbia or Timonium graduate centers, as well as virtual appointments. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please contact:
