Assistive Technology

Disabilities affecting learning may qualify a student to access Assistive Technology. Students may be required to provide historical and/or recent documentation supporting the use of assistive technology due to a diagnosis that substantially affects learning and complete an Intake Interview with the Accessibility Services (AS) coordinator. Assistive Technology can be checked out from AS through the Library.
