Health Center: OSWD Mission and Goals

In keeping with the central tenets of its mission – teaching and learning, faith and formation, and service and leadership – the University of Portland is committed to the full access and inclusion of all qualified students in its programs. It is the policy of the University to ensure that students with disabilities have equal opportunity for participation in the University’s academic programs and activities, in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act. 

The goals of the Office for Students with Disabilities are to:

• assist students in obtaining appropriate documentation of a disability
• develop an accommodation plan for students to ensure necessary and appropriate classroom accommodations
• facilitate non-classroom accommodations
