The Office Disability Services coordinates equal opportunities for students with permanent and temporary disabilities at St. John's University. These services are designed to ensure, for all students, full participation in programs and activities offered throughout the St. John's University. The aim of these services is to improve the quality of the academic, social, and personal lives of students who have a disability and to provide barrier-free educational opportunities, assisting students in becoming self advocating and independent. Accommodations offered include, but are not limited to the following:

• Extended test time (time plus one-half, unless otherwise documented)

• Separate testing room under a proctor's supervision

• Sign language interpretation

• Readers for exams

• Scribes for exams

• Assistance with course or program accessibility

• Note taking assistance (NCR paper available upon request)

HAS THE OFFICE OF DISABILITY SERVICES SUSPENDED OPERATIONS DUE TO COVID-19? No. Disability Services is conducting web-based or phone registration meetings for students who have a new need for accommodations in relation to the online educational environment and we continue to support currently registered students with their approved accommodations or new requests via email check in, phone calls, or video teleconferencing such as Webex.
