The SDS is dedicated to giving students with disabilities an equal opportunity to participate in the University’s programs, courses and activities. SDS provides reasonable accommodations, at no cost, to any student who has a documented disability as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, as well as other applicable legislation. The SDS works with the student to design accommodations intended to mitigate the impact of a students' disability and to afford equal opportunity and full participation in University programs for undergraduate, graduate and non-degree seeking students.

Students who need accommodations for a disability in order to fully participate in University programs, courses and activities should contact the SDS. This contact should be made as far in advance as possible.  It is the joint responsibility of the student, SDS and other DU faculty and staff to work together to meet students’ needs. 

The SDS requires current supporting documentation of a student’s disability in order to establish protections under the ADA/Section 504 and determine appropriate and reasonable accommodations and/or academic adjustments. A student’s documentation is kept separate and private and is not shared as part of the student’s DU Transcript.
