• Learning Disabilities

The Testing Center works to ensure that appropriate testing accommodations are provided for students with 14 testing rooms, all equipped with video surveillance.

The OALA office works closely with various departments on campus, including Campus Living and Learning, Dining Services and the Counseling Center.

If you are in the process of registering with OALA, you will need to schedule an appointment with an assigned Disability Advisor to discuss potential accommodations based on your application and medical documentation.

If you are already registered with OALA, you are encouraged to schedule an appointment with your Disability Advisor any time to discuss questions and concerns about classes and professors, including for help with additional academic assistance, or even just to check in and update your advisor on how the semester is progressing.

To set up the appointment, go online to the OALA appointment form and complete the required information. Please use this form each time you wish to schedule an appointment with your Disability Advisor.
