Support for Students and Guests with Disabilities

Student Disability Services (SDS) supports students and guests by facilitating the provisions of reasonable accommodations as determined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. SDS will seek to go beyond compliance through education, advocacy, and strong partnerships with NEIU faculty and staff.

Request for Accommodations Steps

To apply for services, students and guests must self-identify a disability by submitting documentation based upon diagnosed need from appropriate professionals. 

Please go to "How to Get Services" to navigate through our pages and learn more about SDS's services.

Once you complete and submit your request for accommodations and your supporting documentation, an SDS specialist will get in touch with you within 10 business days, via email, to schedule an appointment to discuss your request for accommodations.
