Ohio University

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.

Announcements:

Change in Disability Services Advisor for students with last names beginning with "M."

Other Announcements

Dear Students,

My name is Veronica Ransom and I am a graduate student in The Patton College of Education. For my Master's Research project, I have decided to focus on transition services from high school to post-secondary education. I have created a short survey asking questions about your experience with transition services and how or if you feel it could be better.

If you have already completed this survey thank you very much and please disregard this email. If you have not completed the survey, please read the attached consent form before continuing. The link to the survey can be found at the end of this email as well as on the attached consent form. It is completely anonymous and can only be completed with the link and password.

Thank you in advance for your participation. It will be very useful information to help me complete my project.

Best,

Veronica Ransom
