Welcome to the Office of Disability Support Services!
The entire DSS team is here to provide programs and services designed to support and encourage the integration of students with disabilities and access needs into the mainstream of the university academics and community.
Our Mission
The DSS office assists in creating an accessible university community, where students with disabilities have an equal opportunity to fully participate in all aspects of the educational environment.
DSS supports both the teaching and learning environments through partnerships and in-service training with students, faculty, and staff.
Confidentiality
Student disability records are education records that contain confidential information, and are to be protected per the University's Student Records Policy and Information Security and Assurance Policy (see http://policies.cua.edu/default.cfm). Accordingly, DSS will maintain a student's disability information in a confidential file in the DSS Office.
In order to balance student privacy with the need to provide services and accommodations, DSS will disclose student disability information only to those University personnel who have a need to know that information or with a student's consent, and in accordance with the foregoing policies.
