Services for Students with Disabilities

The University of Indianapolis provides students with the opportunity to reach their academic potential. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, accommodations are made to ensure that students with disabilities have equal access to UIndy's educational and co-curricular opportunities.

Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) at UIndy coordinates services for students with disabilities. The goals of these services are:

To enable students with disabilities to participate in and benefit from the university programs and activities by providing services and accommodations.
To ensure the UIndy environment is free of both physical barriers and barriers of attitude.
To encourage students with disabilities to become as independent and self-reliant as possible and to inform students that it is their responsibility to secure services and accommodations.
To provide information and consultation about specific disabilities to the entire UIndy community.

SSD will make every effort to provide reasonable and appropriate accommodations according to Sec. 504 and ADA guidelines. Students are responsible for making their needs and requests known to SSD and providing appropriate documentation. Students concerned with mobility or orientation to campus should discuss their needs with SSD.

The University of Indianapolis does not provide personal attendants, individually prescribed devices, readers for personal use or study, or other personal devices or services. SSD can refer students to appropriate resources in the community. In addition, Baccalaureate for University of Indianapolis Learning Disabled (BUILD) is a comprehensive, fee-for-service program designed to support UIndy students with a specific learning disability. For more information on this program, visit the BUILD website.

The office for Services for Students with Disabilities is located on the second floor of Schwitzer Student Center, Room 206, and is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
