Office of Accessibility Services
The Office of Accessibility Services (OAS) strives to provide wholistic support for students with disabilities and educate the campus community about disability through information sharing and purposeful dialogue.
Services and Support
OAS staff review accommodation requests and are available for consult about disability-related concerns. OAS also manages the Academic Testing Center, a distraction-reduced setting that serves as an alternative to in-classroom testing when extended time, assistive technology, or other needs require it.
Students who seek disability-related accommodations must register with the Office of Accessibility Services through the Accommodate portal. Detailed instructions about registration and other relevant information are available on the OAS information directory page.
All student files are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and the intake process includes an individual appointment with an OAS staff member to discuss requests. Students may register with OAS at any time during the year. Please contact the office to learn more about significant academic and housing placement deadlines that may impact the timing and effectiveness of approved accommodations. Incoming students are advised to register soon after submitting their deposit and gaining access to the Bryant portal. Please note that all correspondence from our office will be sent to the student’s Bryant University email address.
Academic accommodations approved by OAS are active for one semester or term. It is the student’s responsibility to request academic accommodations at the beginning of every academic term (Fall, Winter, Spring, or Summer) through the Accommodate portal. Accommodations will not be retroactively applied; therefore, it is important to submit requests before the semester begins.
Housing-related accommodations are active for one academic year. The annual housing request process begins every January 2nd for the following academic year and is designed to align with Office of Residential Life deadlines. See the OAS webpage for more details or contact the main desk.
