The Office for Disability Services welcomes you to Union University. Our office has been charged with the responsibility of ensuring equal access for all qualified students with disabilities.
We do this by providing or coordinating a range of reasonable accommodations that meet the student's needs, according to the unique impact of his/her disability. We created this page to assist
you in understanding the policies and procedures for requesting accommodations.
