Students with disabilities
Cornell University is committed to ensuring that students with disabilities have equal access to all university programs and activities. Policies and procedures have been developed to provide students with as much independence as possible, to preserve confidentiality, and to provide students with disabilities the same exceptional opportunities available to all Cornell students.
The office of Student Disability Services (SDS) will arrange for the provision of auxiliary aids, assistive technology, and reasonable accommodations for all qualified students with documented disabilities including:
- Academic accommodations,
- Accessible campus housing, and
- Transportation and parking.
If you have a disability and need some type of accommodation, please contact SDS to register for disability services at 420 Computing and Communications Center, Ithaca, NY 14853; telephone 607.254.4545; e-mail CLT_SDS@cornell.edu.
To register with SDS, students must submit current and comprehensive disability documentation, meet with an SDS staff person (upon arriving on campus), and submit the Request for Disability Services and Accommodations Form. Some accommodations, such as a specific housing assignment or sign language interpreters, take advance notice to arrange so please contact SDS as soon as you have been accepted to and decided to attend Summer College.
Documentation requirements for eligibility for disability services can be found on the Student Disability Services Web site. Please note that eligibility guidelines and appropriate accommodations may differ from high school. All disability-related information is kept strictly confidential.
