About the DSS Office
DigiPen’s Disability Support Services Office (DSS Office) and its staff are appointed by the president of DigiPen to review student documentation and determine the needs for any reasonable accommodations to be provided by DigiPen to ensure equal access. DigiPen will offer and provide reasonable accommodations as long as such accommodations do not fundamentally alter the nature and academic requirements considered essential to the program of study and as long as such accommodations do not create an undue hardship for DigiPen.
DigiPen Institute of Technology is committed to providing equal access to all of its programs, courses, activities, events, and services. As required by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “ADA”) as amended, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (P.L. 93-112) as amended (P.L. 93-16), DigiPen will provide reasonable accommodations to qualified students with disabilities.
