for all persons regardless of race, sex, color, religion, creed,

Students with Disabilities
The University of Michigan complies with federal
and state laws which affect qualified persons with disabilities.
It is the policy and practice of the College of Literature, Science,
and the Arts to provide equal educational opportunities for students
with documented disabilities in all programs and activities,
including internships and field placements. Students with disabilities
who require academic adjustments are encouraged to contact their
instructors at the beginning of the term to discuss their specific
needs.
Services
for Students with Disabilities (SSD)
provides services to students with visual impairments,
learning disabilities, mobility impairments, or hearing impairments.
We also work with students who have chronic health problems or
psychological disabilities. SSD offers services which are not
provided by other University offices or outside organizations.
We provide such services as accessible campus transportation,
adaptive technology, sign language and oral interpreting, readers
and other volunteers, guidance for course accommodations, and
requests to modify degree requirements. Our services are free
of charge.
Before and after a student enrolls at the University,
SSD staff are available to answer questions and provide referrals
concerning admission, registration, services available, financial
aid, etc. In addition, SSD can help assess the need for
modified housing, attendants, interpreters, transportation, classroom
accommodations, notetakers, and adaptive equipment.
Some might be particularly interested in the Volunteer
Reader Program, which is run by SSD. It consists of students
reading material onto cassette for use by students with visual
impairments or print disabilities. The primary qualification
the reader must have is a clear speaking voice. Volunteers are
also needed to edit scanned printed materials to be put onto
disk. The primary qualification for this task is strong text
editing skills.
To request additional information call (734)763-3000
(Voice/TDD).
To find out more about services, or to volunteer
as a reader, notetaker or tutor, contact Services for Students
with Disabilities, G625 Haven Hall, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1045,
(734) 763-3000 (Voice/TDD). Students with disabilities may also
contact the Academic Standards Board, 1255 Angell Hall, Ann Arbor,
MI 48109-1003, (734) 764-0310
