The Office of Disability and Equity

The Office of Disability and Equity and Assistive Technology

The Office of Disability and Equity (ODE) operates under the mandates of Section 504 and Section 508 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Amendments Act of 2008, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability against any "otherwise qualified individual." Individuals seeking accommodations must give reasonable notice and provide documentation to support their request. Reasonable accommodations are made on a case-by-case basis to promote equal access to educational opportunities.
