What Students Say

A legacy of equality.

OSA has been so supportive throughout my past year. I believe that without OSA, my grades would not have improved the way they did. I'm glad I know about OSA and how helpful it really is to students.

Student

Accommodations have allowed me to really be able to take in knowledge without having to worry about missing any information.

Student

I was able to graduate summa cum laude because of the Office of Student Accommodations. I would not have been able to maintain my GPA of 3.9 if not for this resource. Additionally, I received several scholarships I would not have had access to otherwise.
