Welcome to the Center for Students with Disabilities

ANNOUNCEMENT

Currently, the University of Connecticut has two programs on campus responsible for providing appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities—the Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD) and the University Program for College Students with Learning Disabilities (UPLD). As of June 1, 2008, these two programs will consolidate into one office in order to provide accommodations and services to all students with disabilities.

So What Does this Mean for the Current Academic Year?

  • For the remainder of the 2007-2008 academic year, the CSD and UPLD will continue to maintain two offices:
    CSD -- Wilbur Cross, Room 201
    UPLD — Gentry, Room 003
  • Current students should continue to follow the same procedure for requesting accommodations.
  • Prospective or entering students should contact the CSD at 860-486-2020. Students will be asked to provide some brief background information regarding their disability and to submit appropriate documentation. Once this information is reviewed, you will be contacted by a CSD or UPLD professional in order to discuss your request for accommodations.

Through the integration of teaching, research, and service, it is the mission of the University of Connecticut to provide an outstanding educational experience for each student. The mission of the Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD) is to enhance this experience for students with disabilities. Our goal is to ensure a comprehensively accessible University experience where individuals with disabilities have the same access to programs, opportunities and activities as all others. The Center is also committed to promoting access and awareness as a resource to all members of the community.

While complying with the letter of the law, the CSD also embraces its spirit by providing services to all students with permanent or temporary disabilities to ensure that all University programs and activities are accessible. The Center can assist students to maximize their potential while helping them develop and maintain independence. Our philosophy is one that promotes self-awareness, self-determination, and self-advocacy in a comprehensively accessible environment.
