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.
