Disability Services

Disability Services assists the University in creating an accessible community where students with disabilities have an equal opportunity to fully participate in their educational experience at JMU. 

Threefold Goal:

Equal Opportunity

To provide and coordinate accommodations, support services and programs that provide students with disabilities an equal opportunity to maximize their learning potential.

Integrity

By joining with faculty, administration & staff, we seek to guard the integrity of JMU's programs and services, while at the same time, ensuring that students with disabilities receive the reasonable accommodations that give them an equal opportunity to meet individual program requirements.

Responsibility

We function as an advocate for students with disabilities, while at the same time encouraging and assisting students in the development of independence, responsibility and effective self-advocacy.
