Marywood University Office of Disability Services

Mission Statement

The mission of The Office of Student Support Services is to assist Marywood University in ensuring that qualified students with disabilities are afforded and given access to the same, or equal, educational opportunities available to other University students, as mandated by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Assistance is provided to both students with disabilities and to the campus community so that students are not discriminated against due to their disability in policies, procedures, and practices conducted within, or as part of, the University environment.

This website was compiled to serve as a useful guide for students with disabilities throughout their career at Marywood University. It contains information about policies, registration and scheduling procedures, student confidentiality matters, services and persons to contact in specific situations.

Marywood University is committed to providing an environment that is accessible to all students, regardless of disability type. Our hope is that as you pursue your education, you will use the resources contained in this directory to make your overall Marywood experience a fulfilling and successful one.

Through the Office of Student Support Services, we have helped facilitate the education of students who have disabilities by coordinating a variety of services that support the unique academic needs of permanently and temporarily disabled students. The Office of Student Support Services also works to ensure policies, procedures and practices within the university environment do not discriminate against students because they have a disability.
