Mission Statement

The University of Alabama is committed to making its academic programs and other services accessible to qualified students with disabilities. It is a goal of the University of Alabama to provide students with disabilities equal opportunities to develop and demonstrate their academic skills, while maintaining the academic integrity of University programs. Consistent with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, it is the policy of the University of Alabama that no otherwise qualified person with a disability shall be subjected to discrimination because of that disability under any program or activity conducted or sponsored by the University.

The Office of Disability Services (ODS) serves as the central contact point for students with disabilities. The goal of ODS is to provide a physically and educationally accessible University environment that ensures an individual is viewed on the basis of ability, not disability. ODS works individually with students to determine appropriate and reasonable academic accommodations, and to ensure that students' academic performance is evaluated apart from the limiting effects of disability.
