DISABILITIES.
The Office of Disability Services ensures that UMW provides reasonable and appropriate accommodations to students with disabilities. These accommodations may include, but are not limited to, extended time on tests, note-taking assistance, sign language interpreters, enlarged print materials, permission to tape record lectures, and distraction-reduced testing sites.
In order to receive accommodations, students must provide appropriate professional documentation of a disability, which is defined as a physical or mental condition which substantially limits a major life activity. The Director of Disability Services will verify the disability, assist in arranging reasonable accommodations, and act as a liaison between students and faculty on issues relating to accommodations.
