Northeastern University, through its Disability Access Services office, is committed to providing an equal opportunity for qualified students with disabilities to participate fully in the activities of Northeastern University, consistent with applicable laws such as Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act. To receive accommodations through DAS, students must provide appropriate documentation that demonstrates a substantial limitation (as defined under applicable law) and the corresponding need for accommodations or services. DAS evaluates the information provided by students and their clinicians on a case-by-case basis and makes an individualized determination about requested accommodations based on an informed and interactive process. Accommodations are based on the functional impact of the student's condition and are available to students with a wide range of diagnoses, including but not limited to:
- Learning disabilities and/or ADHD
- Autism spectrum disorders
- Chronic or degenerative disorders
- Hearing loss
- Mobility impairments
- Psychiatric disorders
- Traumatic or acquired brain injury
- Vision impairments
Students should provide documentation to DAS as early as possible to allow DAS sufficient time to complete its review. After the documentation has been reviewed, a disability specialist will contact the student regarding appropriate next steps.
