Student Accessibility Center

We Are Prepared to Meet Your Learning Needs
gradient line

The Student Accessibility Center at Ashland University provides services and accommodations for students with diagnosed disabilities to ensure nondiscrimination and equitable access to their education. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, a disability includes any “physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.” Students with a verified disability may include, but are not limited to, those with physical, psychological or learning disabilities, communicative disorders or temporary injuries (e.g. concussions, broken or sprained limbs). Reasonable accommodations are not determined based on disability or diagnosis alone.

As a student, you may be asked to submit documentation supporting your need for accommodations. Your documentation will need to clearly state the functional limitations of your disability and how it impacts your learning. Your accommodations must be reasonable and must minimize the effect of your disability on learning without lowering or modifying academic standards. You can request accommodations by contacting the Student Accessibility Center by email at au-sac@ashland.edu or by phone at 419-289-5904. The center is located in the Claremont Building at 930 Claremont Ave. Ashland, Ohio 44805.

If you have a current accommodation letter for academics, please let your professors know early in the semester (preferably the first week) so your accessibility needs can be appropriately met.
