Office of Accessibility & Student Inclusion Services
Office of Accessibility & Student Inclusion Office (OASIS) welcomes students, faculty, staff and visitors with disabilities. OASIS values disability as integral to our rich diversity and provides leadership to University efforts to ensure an accessible, inclusive welcoming learning and working environment for individuals with disabilities while complying with federal and state regulations.
OASIS serves as a central resource on disability-related information, procedures and services for the university community and provides expertise in the development, implementation, and acquisition for best and promising disability-related university practices, procedures and resources.
The OASIS also partners with students with visible and invisible disabilities to identify barriers and implement plans for access. Through collaboration with the campus community, we foster an environment of equity and inclusion.
