Services

The Office of Disability Services (ODS) will work with any student who has a disability (Physical, Health, Learning, Psychological, etc.) to ensure meaningful access to the goods and services offered by GSU. To achieve this goal, academic accommodations are often made on behalf of the student.  The Academic and Student Affairs Handbook can be reviewed under the University System of Georgia; referrel to 3.11 Student with Learning Disorders policy.

The decision of what auxiliary aids and services a student receives is made on an individual basis. To be eligible for these aids and services, a student must bring appropriate documentation to an ODS service provider. Please refer to Documentation Guidelines for more information. Once appropriate documentation has been presented, appropriate auxiliary aides and services will be provided to ensure equal access to that individual student.
