Disability Support Services (DSS) for UW-Superior students is housed in the Center for Academic and Career Advising in Old Main, Room 134. Center staff are committed to providing reasonable accommodations for students covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability against persons in any program or activity receiving or benefiting from federal funds. Section 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act also require these institutions to make reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. These mandates apply to documented learning, physical, sensory, and psychiatric disabilities. Students are to familiarize themselves with the DSS Handbook online at www.uwsuper.edu/career

The Disability Support Services (DSS) advisor serves as a liaison for students with disabilities, and coordinates reasonable accommodation requests. To become eligible for accommodations, interested students must: 1) Identify themselves to DSS and provide appropriate documentation of the disability; 2) Schedule an appointment to review the information and develop an accommodation plan with DSS; 3) Inform instructors of accommodation needs at the beginning of each semester by giving them a FAF (Faculty Accommodation Form; and 4) Meet with DSS to update the accommodation plan and to arrange timely services.
