Mission and Philosophy
The Office of Accessibility Services is dedicated to removing or reducing academic architectural and attitudinal barriers at UCM so students with disabilities have an opportunity for higher education equal to that of other students. OAS provides reasonable appropriate accommodations for equal access to education for students with professionally verified disabilities.
Accommodations are unique to each student and should be discussed with the staff of Accessibility Services upon enrollment at Central Missouri. They will work with the individual student to assess the student's need for reasonable accommodations and develop a plan to meet those needs.
It is the student's responsibility to make initial contact with OAS, to provide documentation of the disability and to be prepared for class and exams.
Confidentiality is a high priority. The student's records are privately maintained. The office will divulge information only upon a student's permission or on a case by case, need to know basis as provided by ADA and FERPA.
