Welcome to DSS at The Catholic University of America!
Our mission is to foster an inclusive and supportive campus where students with disabilities can fully participate in the academic and social life of the university.
We evaluate disability documentation, determine reasonable accommodations, and work closely with students, faculty, and staff to remove disability-related barriers. While students are responsible for requesting accommodations in advance, our team is here to ensure that each student’s unique needs are met with care and respect.
We recognize that not all students with disabilities require accommodations, and that support plans must be individualized. Through education, collaboration, and advocacy, DSS is committed to promoting awareness and expanding access across all university programs, activities, and facilities—empowering students to reach their full academic potential in a community that values both excellence and compassion.
