While some of the technologies are also available in ITSD operated computer labs and in Randall Library, it is the responsibility of each academic department to provide the necessary AT during the class meeting times to students with documented disabilities taking courses within that department. Students who may require AT in order to have full accessibility to their courses or coursework are encouraged to register with Disability Services so we may support their efforts to gain the necessary AT.

All of the AT is available in the Disability Services Technology Room, with staff available to provide an Assistive Technology Consultation or Training. Disability Services is open 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, with the exception of official university holidays and closings, as well as other specified times throughout the year. Individuals registered with Disability Services who are interested in using the Technology Room or receiving any support regarding AT should call Disability Services (962-7555) to check on the availability of resources and staff.
