Their mission is "to foster equitable experiences for students with disabilities at Saint Louis University. The center provides academic and housing accommodations for SLU students, supports faculty’s implementation of accommodations within the classroom, and advocates for accessibility campuswide."
You can schedule a meeting with the CADR office through EAB Navigate in your mySLU student portal, you can email their office at accessibility_disability@slu.edu, and you can visit their office in suite 331 in the Busch Student Center.
