The Office of Disability Services (ODS) provides academic accommodations and ensures access for students with disabilities. 

Our team provides the necessary tools, resources, and support for individuals with disabilities to become responsible decision-makers and self-advocates in charge of their own future.

The Office of Disability Services at Rutgers works collaboratively with students, faculty, and staff in order to provide guidance, support, resources, and academic accommodations to ensure equal opportunity and access.

Ultimately, our goal is to spread knowledge and awareness throughout the university and beyond to establish an inclusive community that values diversity, acceptance, and academic achievement.

A temporary condition can be an injury or illness (i.e., a concussion, broken bone, or short-term effects post-surgery) that lasts less than 8 weeks. These temporary conditions may cause unforeseen barriers that can impact your academics and overall Rutgers experience. The Offices of the Dean of Students–Advocacy, Outreach, and Support can help facilitating access to classes and services in your time of need. It is essential that you take an active role in identifying needs, engaging with offices, and providing the necessary documentation to help ensure academic success.
