Office of Special Services

Empowering students to achieve their goals

 

Our Mission

The Office of Special Services’ (OSS) primary mission is promoting educational equality for students with disabilities.  OSS is dedicated to facilitating equal access for students with disabilities allowing full participation in educational programs, services and campus activities through appropriate and reasonable accommodations.    

 

OSS is devoted to assuring students with disabilities are respected as individuals, learners and decision makers and strives to create a supportive environment, fostering student independence and the self-reliance for attaining educational and vocational goals.  

 

The OSS staff is committed to developing in each student, the self-awareness and self-advocacy skills necessary to compete in the educational and vocational arena to the best of their ability. 

           

OSS embraces and encourages an attitude of collaboration within the campus community to eliminate the barriers and challenges that exist for students with disabilities.  The effort of OSS will continue their function of recognizing and addressing the evolving obstacles that affect persons with disabilities on our campus over the coming decade.
