Services for Students

Purpose

The university setting provides a new experience for all first-time students. Adapting to different environments and responsibilities is a challenge to any student. For students with disabling conditions, this process not always easy. It is the goal of Disability Access Services to assist in fully integrating students with disabilities into the UMSL community.

The major objective of the program for students with disabilities at the University of Missouri-St. Louis is to provide services on an individualized basis for mainstreaming into the general student population. Our second objective is to provide assistance to students with disabilities in their acclimation to the campus and to assure positive learning experiences. Ultimately, we work to ensure that UMSL is an accessible campus and that student with disabilities have the opportunity to succeed.

  • Pre-admission counseling
