Columbia is
committed to serving the needs of its students with disabilities. The
University Office of Disability Services coordinates services for students with
permanent or temporary disabilities in order to assist these students in
realizing and maximizing their academic and personal potential. Disability
Services works in conjunction with each of Columbia’s schools to support their
individual academic programs and standards. Each school designates a liaison
officer for Disability Services. The GSAS disabilities liaison is the associate
dean for administration and planning.
The Office works with students and with their schools to develop
individualized accommodation strategies that address disability needs and meet
academic expectations. Students’ accommodations are based on their academic
program and may include adaptive computer equipment, taped texts, alternative
testing arrangements, readers, note takers, sign-language interpreters,
amanuenses/scribes, and other aides. The Office provides auxiliary aids and
adaptive equipment for student use upon payment of a deposit.
