If you are a student who has a learning, mental or physical disability, make sure to register with the Office of Disability Services (ODS). ODS helps students ensure they have the accommodations they  need in all their classrooms and university activities to help students meet their goals. Students that require temporary  assistance also qualify for these accommodations.

Visit the ODS website to find out if you qualify to receive support.

Have a paper to write but you’d rather binge the next season of your favorite series on Netflix? Managing your time, priorities, life roles and academic deadlines can get overwhelming.

Both programs provide students assistance with writing projects. Tutors assisting with the program have two business days to respond to online submissions.
