The Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD)
The CSD collaborates with students, faculty, family members, and the greater UConn community to promote holistic student success and ensure a comprehensively accessible and inclusive environment.
Welcome to the CSD
The CSD engages in an interactive process with each student and reviews requests for accommodations on an individualized, case-by-case basis. Depending on the nature and functional limitations of a student’s documented disability, they may be eligible for reasonable and appropriate accommodations.
