Welcome to the Office of Disabilities and Accessibility Services

Woodbury University is committed to providing students of all abilities access to all university programs, services, and activities as required by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act. To make this possible, Woodbury’s Office of Disabilities and Accessibility Services (ODAS) grants reasonable accommodations to qualified students with disabilities.

 

This form is for Woodbury students – incoming, new, or current – who are making an initial request for accommodations through ODAS. Submission of this form is your official request to register with the Office of Disabilities and Accessibility Services (ODAS). Information provided will be used to establish ADA/504 eligibility and to develop appropriate reasonable accommodations. This form can be used for both academic accommodations requests and housing accommodations requests. If making a request for accommodations in housing, please be aware that this form does not secure your place in the dorm, and that you must separately complete a housing application as well.

 

This form allows you to provide relevant information regarding your disability, explain the functional impact of the disability in your own words, and upload any relevant medical documentation to provide verification of disability and further explanation. Once submitted, the ODAS Director will contact you via the email you provide to schedule an appointment to further discuss your request. If you have a Woodbury email address, please utilize that as your email address on the form for contact.

 

Please Note: This is only a request. Accommodations are not guaranteed until you have followed the necessary steps and have received official approval. You will be notified in writing (via email) of the decision to approve or deny your request. The University Grievance Procedure may be used to appeal any decision. Please direct any questions to disabilities@woodbury.edu.
