Disability Services

Center for Educational Access

At ASU-Newport, we believe every student has the right to achieve their highest ability academically, socially and intellectually. Although ASUN does not offer a specialized curriculum for persons with disabilities or assume the role of a rehabilitation center, we offer a variety of support services so that students with disabilities are admitted and integrated as completely as possible into the university.

Reasonable academic accommodations are provided on an individual basis and are determined from the student's documentation and interview with the Center for Educational Access. To obtain reasonable academic accommodations, students must provide documentation of diagnosed disability to the Center for Educational Access Coordinator. It is to your advantage to contact the Center for Educational Access Coordinator before enrolling in courses at ASU-Newport.
