The Office of Disability Services (ODS) strives to ensure that students with disabilities have equal access to all university programs and activities. ODS provides students the opportunity to reach their full potential by coordinating academic accommodations and support services, promoting independence and self-advocacy, and providing information and referral to appropriate resources. Students with disabilities who require special accommodations (e.g., testing accommodations, information in alternative format) need to provide verification of their disability to the Office of Disability Services, Suite 5-5.1 LBJ Student Center, at 512.245.3451 (voice/TTY). View Eligibility Requirements to register with ODS.

Students with documented disabilities who are registered with the Office of Disability Services (ODS) and have signed up in person at the ODS or in the One Stop Center at the Round Rock Higher Education Center within the first six days of the semester for advance registration are entitled to use the Special Group Registration period to obtain optimum class locations and schedules.

Texas State has established "Grievance Procedures for Students with Disabilities" for enrolled students who have a grievance related to/associated with accommodations. A copy is available from ODS. Texas State also has grievance procedures for the prompt and equitable resolution of complaints related to illegal discrimination on the basis of disability. This grievance procedure is described in UPPS No. 04.04.46, Illegal Discrimination. A copy is available in the Texas State Library, ODS, and most other university offices. Students who have concerns or complaints should contact Tina Schultz, director of ODS at 512.245.3451 (voice/TTY) or Dr. Sherri Benn, ADA coordinator at 512.245.2278.

Only vehicles displaying a valid state-issued Disabled Persons hanging tag or plate may use the designated blue Disabled Persons parking spaces. A valid Texas State permit must be displayed along with the state-issued permit at all times.
