Our Vision

George Mason University is committed to non-discrimination of students with disabilities and strives to ensure that they have equitable access to higher education, programs, activities, and services in order for them to participate fully in the university. As a continuing commitment to upholding the letter and spirit of the laws, such as the ADA and Section 504, that ensure equal treatment and equal access for people with disabilities, the university established and maintains Disability Services.

Disability Services provides support services and reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities, as defined by the ADA and Section 504. Disability Services is available to serve all students with disabilities, including but not limited to those with cognitive, learning, psychological, sustained head injuries, sensory, mobility, and other physical impairments.

As part of University Life’s commitment to recognizing and honoring the richness of diversity at George Mason University, Disability Services staff members actively seek opportunities to participate in the campus-wide dialogue. The office welcomes and encourages all students with disabilities, registered with Disability Services or not, to identify themselves as members of the disability community and to engage in the diversity dialogue on campus.
