Academic Accommodations - Disability Services

The Office of Disability Services assists the University of Mary Washington in providing equal opportunities for qualified students with disabilities. UMW complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA).

Academic (and campus) accommodations can be granted based on appropriate documentation of a disability. If you think you may be eligible for disability accommodations, please contact the Office of Disability Services at 540-654-1266 and register with the office. Disability Services is willing to talk to anyone regarding the services the office offers.  However the office cannot officially work with students on accommodations until they are formally accepted to the institution. Please also note that due to FERPA (the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act); Disability Services can only talk to the student unless the student gives written consent or is under the age of 18. All disability information is confidential and is not recorded on the student's transcript.
