Office of Student Accessibility Services (OSAS)

UMassD students

OSAS is excited for our Fall 2025 semester. If you haven't already, make an intake appointment with us to make sure your accommodations are all set for fall. You want to get an appointment sooner rather than later. You'll want to call us (508-999-8711) to make the appointment.

If you are a new student with us, then please review our documentation guidelines and submit your documentation via email (access_success@umassd.edu) before your appointment. If you're a returning student, remember that you must make an intake appointment with us every semester! Your accommodations do not automatically roll over. Remember, accommodations are not retroactive, so you don't want to wait too far into the semester.

Make sure you read through our resources to help you start the semester off right. We have lots of tips for studying, note taking, and reading! You'll want to start thinking about how you want to schedule your time this semester to make sure you can get your assignments done while also making time for fun.

We look forward to working with you this academic year!

Equity for all

The Office of Student Accessibility Services, oversees the University’s compliance with the legal mandates expressed in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 for students with documented disabilities.

The Office of Student Accessibility Services works with faculty, staff, and students to ensure that appropriate academic adjustments are made that allow all students equity inside the classroom. Students who have documented disabilities on our campus are afforded a variety of services to accommodate their individual needs. UMass Dartmouth strives to ensure complete access to University academic programs. 

Simply schedule an appointment with us to discuss your unique needs. The Office of Student Accessibility Services is located in Pine Dale Hall, Room 7136. When you arrive at Pine Dale Hall please use the call box and dial ext. 8711 and a staff member will meet you at the entrance to open the door.
