Welcome to the Center for Students with Disabilities
About Us
The University of Connecticut is committed to achieving equal educational opportunity and full participation for persons with disabilities. It is the policy that no qualified person be excluded from participating in any University program or activity or otherwise be subjected to discrimination with regard to any University program or activity. This policy derives from the commitment to non-discrimination for all persons in employment, access to facilities, student programs, activities and services.
Achieving full participation and integration of people with disabilities requires the cooperative efforts of the departments, offices and personnel. To this end, the University will continue to strive to achieve excellence in its services and to assure that its services are delivered equitably and efficiently to all of its members.
The Center seeks to accommodate students with documented disabilities to allow them equal access in their educational endeavors. Accommodations are designed to level the playing field for students with disabilities, while maintaining the integrity and standards of our academic programs. All services offered through the Center are kept strictly confidential. The Center provides a variety of different accommodations both academic and residential to fit your needs. We are also happy to say that we have various different services to help you transition into college, become successful and reach your potential. Make sure to check out our beyond access programs and the events we hold within the office!
