Disability Support Services (DSS)

Antioch University is committed to providing reasonable accommodation to qualified students with disabilities-- in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans  with Disabilities Act of 2008-- in order to ensure that all students have equal opportunity to benefit  from and participate in Antioch programs and services.

The DSS Office will provide accommodations to the students based on the nature of the disability.  Accommodations may include, but are not limited to: extended time on assignments, interpreters,  note taking, books on tape or CD, recorded class sessions, tutorial assistance, scribes, and priority  registration.  

Contact the Disability Support Services office to initiate the process and request accommodations. Students requesting accommodation must submit documentation from a professional (medical  doctor, psychologist, psychiatrist, neuro-psychologist, or other professional diagnostician) to the  DSS Office. Documentation must be in writing and include a detailed description of the disability,  including any limitations. All information provided is confidential. 

Contact the DSS Office as early as possible so that individual needs can be determined, and  accommodations provided in a timely manner. Note that reasonable accommodations are not  retroactive.
