Services for Students with Disabilities
The Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) Office provides services and accommodations for students who have a documented disability. The SSD Office coordinates support services for all students who self-identify and provide verification of their disability while they attend Columbia. Students with a disability must register with the SSD Office in order to receive accommodations based upon their disability. The Office of SSD has adaptive equipment and software in a dedicated computer lab. SSD staff also works with faculty to provide in-class or other campus accommodations.
Grievance Procedure for Students with Disabilities
If a Columbia student believes that he or she has been discriminated against because of a disability by any Columbia personnel, he or she has the right to seek a review of such concerns. A student with a disability has the option of pursuing either an informal complaint or a formal grievance. If a student opts to pursue an informal complaint, he or she may later pursue a formal grievance if not satisfied with the resolution of the informal process. A student who is uncertain about filing a formal grievance may consult informally with the 504 Coordinator, Associate Vice President and Dean of Students, or personnel in the Vice President of Academic Affairs’ Office.
