Accommodation for Students with Disabilities
The Student Accommodations Office is located in Luther Library. The Student Accommodations Specialist works directly with students who have a documented disability and are seeking accommodations. Midland University complies with state and federal legislation addressing student accommodations and is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities.
