Office of Disability Services

Welcome to the Office of Disability Services (ODS). It is the mission of ODS to ensure equal opportunity and access for members of the Ohio University Community. Central to this mission is the development of an academic environment that is accessible to all people without the need for adaptation. While working toward the goal of full inclusion, accommodations must still be provided on an individual basis. 

This guide provides information about policies, procedures, and resources relevant to students registered with ODS and has been developed to assist you in accessing your academic accommodations and services. We encourage you to meet with your Disability Services Advisor on a regular basis to discuss your educational goals and accessibility issues. 

Countless students with disabilities from every college and academic program have graduated from Ohio University. Your engagement in your academic activities and the accommodation process will be a key factor to your success. Communicating openly and regularly with your DS Advisor is the best way to assure your equal access and assists ODS in supporting your success.
