Student Disability Services

The University of the Incarnate Word is committed to providing a supportive, challenging, diverse, and integrated environment for all students.

In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Subpart E and Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the University ensures accessibility to its programs, services and activities for students with documented disabilities.

Accessibility is accomplished through the provision of a wide variety of services tailored to each student's documented needs and strengths.

To qualify for services, the student must provide the Office of Student Disability Services with the appropriate documentation of his or her disability at the time services and/or accommodations are requested.

Registering with Student Disability Services it's as easy as 1, 2, 3!

  1. Gather your medical / professional documentation: Documentation Guidelines
  2. Submit the documentation along with request(s) for accommodations to Student Disability Services for review.
  3. Contact Michelle Beasley, Coordinator of Student Disability Services
    • Email beasley@uiwtx.edu or call (210) 829-3997 to set up an appointment to finalize your registration with Student Disability Services and to review your accommodations.

NOTE: Students are responsible to pick up their completed letters of accommodation from Student Disability Services and deliver to their professors to discuss as soon as possible as classes begin. Accommodations are not retroactive and begin the day the professor receives the letter of accommodation from the student.

After the initial registration with Student Disability Services, students wishing to receive classroom accommodations for each subsequent semester must submit a "request for letters of accommodation" form each time that they register for new classes.
