Registering for Services

 

Students with disabilities are encouraged to contact Disability Support Services (DSS) prior to or upon enrollment at the University.  Students must complete the Application for Services and provide documentation as needed (see documentation guidelines).  Requests for services and accommodations will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and must relate specifically to the students’ disability.

DSS staff may act as a liaison regarding any disability accommodations.  In order to more effectively meet the access needs of Montevallo students with disabilities, DSS works closely with academic departments and other campus entities such as:
 

ASPIRE/Student Support Services	Housing and Residence Life	Student Health Services
Career Development Center	Physical Plant	Student Life
Counseling Center	Records	UM Police
