Welcome to the Office of Access & Accommodations (OAA)
Our Mission
The Office of Access & Accommodations is committed to ensuring equal access to Salisbury University’s courses, programs, activities, opportunities, and services by providing disability, religious, and temporary accommodations.
To this end, the OAA provides guidance, reasonable accommodations/modifications, auxiliary aids, self-advocacy support, academic skill-building, and linkages to on and off-campus resources.

SU Cares
The SU Cares website is designed to be a centralized clearinghouse for some resources students may need to help them succeed at SU. Although some resources may be offered and supervised by departments outside of Student Affairs, all resources and services represent SU’s unwavering commitment to show students that we are inclusive and care about them as human beings.
