Who we are, how we can help you

Dr. Silva and Student MeetThe EMU Students With Disabilities Office (SWD) provides accommodations for students with disabilities and assists faculty and staff with the implementation of those accommodations.

SWD also provides technical assistance, consultation, and training to departments on campus and organizations in the community regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, Disability Awareness, Inclusion and Accessibility.

About our name

Effective July 1, 2008 the name of the Access Services Office changed to the Students with Disabilities Office (SWD). This name change was prompted by several factors:

  • To make it easier for students with disabilities to find our office
  • To clarify the function of the office
  • To be consistent with the name used by other universities

The Students with Disabilities Office offers a guide for students with disabilities. The booklet overviews the purpose, resources available and services that SWD offers. The booklet can be picked up in room 240K of the EMU Student Center, or it can be downloaded here:
