Study Support

Reasonable accommodations at the university means making necessary and appropriate changes and adjustments to the extent that they are not excessively burdensome, in order to ensure that persons with disabilities have equal educational opportunities with others. The Student Accessibility Support Room coordinates for reasonable accommodations to be provided. We also provide individual assistance for problems regardless of disability.

Support procedures depend on each student’s situation and consultation details.
The first step is to come and talk with us.
