HOW TO
RECEIVE DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES
What is
Disability Support Services (DSS)?
Disability Support Services
is a resource for Texas Woman's University students with disabilities on the
Denton, Dallas, and Houston campuses. DSS determines appropriate
accommodations for students in the classroom and in the use of University
facilities in order to provide equal access to educational opportunities at TWU.
How do I qualify

By law, students may qualify
for services if they have a disability, which substantially limits one or more
major life activities/functions (i.e. learning, speaking, hearing, seeing,
etc.). Some, but certainly not all, of the disabilities covered include: AIDS,
arthritis, attention deficit disorder, carpal tunnel syndrome, cancer, cardiac
diseases, dyslexia, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, and
psychiatric disabilities, including many forms of depression.

§
Be accepted
for admission at Texas Woman's University.
§
Complete an
application packet available through DSS.
