SIUE Disability Support Services is Now ACCESS

Accessible Campus Community & Equitable Student Support (ACCESS) is the new name for the former Disability Support Services at SIUE.

Located in the Student Success Center, Room 1270, ACCESS is dedicated to providing reasonable curricular and co-curricular accommodations to diverse learners with major life impairments at SIUE. Each year, ACCESS assists hundreds of students with a variety of diagnoses as they pursue their academic disciplines.

ACCESS also provides resources that students can use to increase skills in learning, time management, and test-taking. Both accommodations and resources are offered to students who have provided appropriate documentation and are approved through the application process.

The ACCESS office is open Monday-Friday year-round at 8 a.m., and starting the fall 2018 semester will have extended hours past 4:30 p.m. to provide testing accommodations for evening courses, as needed. ACCESS is closed on days when the entire University is closed. Students must register and request accommodations from the ACCESS office.
