Overview for Students with Disabilities
Students with disabilities have the right to equal opportunities for education and participation in University activities. Students must meet or exceed the essential requirements of the University of Montana-Western with or without reasonable accommodations. Students initiate the request for reasonable accommodations and services in a timely manner, communicate with faculty regarding accommodations, and work with DSS as needed.
