Accessibility Services

Bryant University upholds the mandates of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008. Students with documented disabilities may request accommodations through the Director of Accessibility Services. The request process will include completion of an online intake form, a personal intake meeting with an Accessibility Services Staff member, and a review of appropriate documentation. All requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis with a focus on how the student’s disability impacts daily living and learning at Bryant.
