Disability Services for Students works with students and all units of URI to foster an inclusive, welcoming, and accessible environment.  We work with you, our students, to support academic success and self-advocacy.

DSS VISION:

The URI community encourages contributions to the learning environment from members of all its cultures, including students with disabilities.

DSS MISSION:

Disability Services for Students recognizes disability as cultural diversity and fosters an inclusive environment for all in the university community through education, awareness, and accessibility.

We accomplish this mission by:

  • Recommending and coordinating reasonable accommodations in a variety of domains (exam, course, program, housing, transportation, technology)

  • Encouraging student development through self-advocacy and personal decision making

  • Supporting a commitment to academic success and student retention

  • Providing training and information to faculty and administration that uphold inclusion of persons with disabilities

For accommodation appointments, please call us at 401-874-2098 or email us at dss@etal.uri.edu. Office hours are 8:30 - 4:30, Monday through Friday.
