Information About Disability Services

The Office of Student Support and Success (OSSS) works with students to provide support they may need to have a rewarding and successful experience at Scranton. The OSSS is home to the ³Ô¹ÏÌìÌÃ’s ADA Committee which determines whether a student is eligible for services and, if so, coordinates appropriate accommodations based on documentation provided by the student and other relevant professionals. We are fully committed to offering our students with disabilities access to programs, facilities and services on an equal opportunity basis.

With respect to privacy and confidentiality, OSSS reviews and maintains disability-related documentation and information in the most safe, secure, and effective way possible, by employing a widely-used software product called Accommodate by Symplicity.  Disclosures of specific health/learning issues to the OSSS will be held confidential and will not appear on a student’s college record.

Information for Students

Welcome New Students!

It is the responsibility of the student to initiate the ADA interactive process by contacting and meeting with a OSSS staff member at the beginning of each semester, or when otherwise appropriate. 

For more information about academic and non-academic accommodations, please visit

We are looking forward to working with you!

For Current Students with Accommodations

If you have been granted academic accommodations, you will be sent an email at the beginning of each semester reminding you to schedule an appointment with a OSSS staff member to complete your faculty notification letters.

If your accommodation(s) needs to be adjusted, please send updated documentation to the OSSS for review by the ADA Committee.

If you have any questions about accommodations at Scranton based on a disability or temporary impairment, feel free to visit the links below. If you have any questions, please send them to disabilityservices@scranton.edu.

You must take the initiative! This site is a valuable resource; however, it is not a substitution for a personal meeting with an OSSS staff member.
