Disability Support Services

Building on its commitments to equal opportunities and a diverse student body, Antioch University recognizes that functional limitation is an experience shared by up to 1 in 5 people and is committed to ensuring disability non-discrimination as outlined Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and related laws. The Disability Support Services office provides resources for the campus community to build effective understanding and implementation of disability civil rights.

One key role of DSS is to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified students with a physical, sensory, psychological or learning disability or disabilities in order to ensure that all students have equal opportunity to benefit from and have access to programs and services.

Accommodations may include, but are not limited to: extended time on assignments, interpreters, note-taking, books on CD, large print, adaptive equipment, recorded class sessions and priority registration.

All students requesting reasonable accommodations must register with the DSS office and submit recent documentation of disability from a health care professional. All accommodations are determined on a case by case basis, since functional limitations can vary uniquely.

Contact the DSS Office as early as possible so that individual accommodation needs can be addressed in a timely manner. All DSS information is kept confidential. For more detailed information, including policies, procedures and resources, please contact the DSS Office at 206-268-4151 or 206-268-4403/TTY 206-728-5745 or e-mail DSS@antiochseattle.edu.
