Welcome to our website!
Disability Services (DS) at the University of Texas at San Antonio
promotes equal access to all university programs and activities for
students with disabilities. The goals of DS are:
-
To provide services, accommodations, and equipment to enable
students with disabilities to participate in and benefit from all
educational programs and activities.
-
To promote an environment at UTSA that is barrier free: free
from both physical barriers and barriers of attitude.
- To encourage students to become as independent and self-reliant
as possible. Toward this goal, students are expected to assume major
responsibility for securing services and accommodations.
- To provide disability awareness education to the university community
through publications, programs, consultation, and the Internet.
