Mission Statement

The mission of Student Disability Services (SDS) is to assure access through reasonable accommodations to qualified students who currently demonstrate a condition producing significant functional limitations in one or more major life activities. Equal access to education is achieved when barriers to learning are removed and students with disabilities are allowed to compete solely on the basis of their academic skills and abilities. In providing academic accommodations to qualified students with disabilities, SDS seeks to promote equal opportunity within the context of a diverse university community through practices that increasingly reflect the mission and values of The University of Iowa.
