Disability Services

Disability Services provides assistance to all qualified students with disabilities. You are required to register with the office and identify your needs in order to be eligible for academic accommodations. All services are based on individual needs. We are here to help you reach your academic goals.  Students are responsible for identifying themselves to the Disability Services Office, for providing documentation, and for requesting accommodations each semester (Fall, Spring, Summer).

Steps to Get Started:

1. Contact the Testing & Academic Services Center to complete an official “Request for Accommodations”
2. Provide the Disability Services Office with all requested and appropriate documentation.
3. Meet with the Disability Services staff to complete an interview process.
4. Complete the “Semester Request for Academic Accommodations” form every semester.

In order for accommodations to be in place when classes begin, students are encouraged to meet with Disability Support Services at least four weeks prior to the beginning of each semester.  For additional information on services available, please contact the Disability Services Office through the Testing & Academic Support Center in Cannon Hall, 1^st Floor (Rm 103) or at 217-443-8708; TTY (217) 443-8701.

Please note, the accommodations and services are offered in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the American with Disabilities Act of 1990.
