Disability Support
The Equal Opportunity & Title IX Office, through the University's ADA Coordinator, helps to resolve disability-related issues, conducts disability-related training, and serves as UND's primary resource for questions and concerns about services and accommodations for individuals with disabilities.
UND is committed to ensuring equal access to educational and employment opportunities for qualified individuals with disabilities in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as amended, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), along with other state and federal laws. Qualified individuals with disabilities are protected from discrimination, including harassment, and are entitled to reasonable accommodations in employment and academic settings. If you believe you have been discriminated against because of a disability, or are unable to access a UND services or activity, you may make a report to the ADA Coordinator.
