Office of Students with Disabilities (OSD)
Diversity Student Services works in junction with the
Office for
Students with Disabilities
(OSD) located on the Boca Raton Campus. The
mission of the OSD is to support students with disabilities
in their pursuit of equity and excellence in education.
The OSD works with faculty and staff to ensure that
reasonable accommodations are made to allow this population
of students an equal opportunity in the classroom and to have
access to all areas around campus. The OSd fosters students
self-advocacy and the development of compensatory skills that
support independent learning.
Numerous adaptive technology aids and human support
services are available to help meet the needs of students
with varying disabilities, including computers with screen
readers and speech recognition systems, stand-alone readers,
magnification devices, tape recorders, Braille writers,
wheelchair-accessible desks, tactile aids and FM systems.
The support services include assistive technology
training, note-taking services, sign language interpreting,
adaptive testing accommodations and learning strategy
tutoring. Self-identification and registration with the
OSD is the student's decision and is not mandatory.
However, the student must do so in order to receive
authorized academic accommodations. Official
documentation of the disability from a qualified professional
is necessary in order to complete the process.
This enables the OSD to provide the appropriate,
reasonable accommodations necessary to ensure access to the
student's educational program. All disability-related
records are kept confidential and are not released without
the student's written permission.
Students who have a disability that prevents them from
meeting foreign language or graduation requirements may
request a substitution of the course requirement in
question. Granting course substitutions will depend on
the nature and extent of the disability and its impact on the
student’s ability to successfully meet the
requirements. Requests for course substitutions that
would require a significant modification of the program,
those required for certification or licensure, or those that
would be inconsistent with the student's academic program or
objectives may be denied. Students should contact the
OSD for assistance in following the appropriate
procedures.
