On January 26, 2009 the Students with Disabilities Office changed from the Student Affairs Division to the Academic Affairs Division. The Director of SWD will now report to Dr. Lynette Findley, Assistant Vice President, Retention and Student Success.
The change will not affect services that SWD provides to students. It will result in greater collaboration with the Holman Learning Center and Academic Advising.
The
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.
