The office of Disability Support Services (DSS) assists students with disabilities attending Texas Woman's University by determining and recommending appropriate academic support services. In addition, DSS acts as a referral source for other services both on campus and in the community.

Students requesting services must complete an application form and provide our office with verification of their disabilities. Once registered, students are eligible to receive appropriate accommodations through the university. Disability Support Services assists students with disabilities through the provision of sign language interpreters, carbonless note taking paper, test accommodations, and other accommodations that are determined to be appropriate.

Once students are registered with DSS, the office will provide the student with an accommodation request form, listing the student's specific accommodation requests. The student will then be responsible for acquiring signatures from his/her professors, and returning the form to this office.

Students should register with the office of Disability Support Services early (if possible, prior to the semester in which they need accommodation) to help ensure that all accommodations are in place by the beginning of the semester. Even if you do not believe that you will require accommodation in the upcoming semester, registration is still recommended.

We look forward to serving you! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us using any of the following:
