Student Support Services

Accessibility Services

The philosophy of the Accessibility Services Office at SUNY Morrisville is to provide students with the opportunity to obtain an education which will aid them in living a full and independent life. Accordingly, assistance is available for those students with physical, psychological, and learning impairments.

 Available services include individual assistance  for  academic,  personal, and career concerns; liaison with the student and the Adult Career and Continuing Education Services - Vocational Rehabilitation (ACCES-VR) and other services agencies; assistance in obtaining tutors, interpreters, note takers, audio-visual and library materials designed for specific assistance; special parking accommodations,  preferential  housing,  ramps,  and  elevator  keys. Service animals are also permitted pending proper documentation. Note: service animals should perform work or tasks directly related to the person's disability. Class scheduling, housing arrangements and rest room facilities are designed to facilitate access. These support services are intended to encourage students to participate in all phases of college life.

While Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 designates responsibilities of the institution, we recognize that the student is responsible for notifying the college of any disability so that appropriate attention may be given.
