Educate, Enrich, Empower.
We have many services and academic accommodations offered for students who are registered with us. We value every student and are committed to working together with the University community. The Office of Disability Services is here to ensure students with disabilities receive the academic accommodations needed for their success in the classroom. We collaborate with the faculty to facilitate the implementation of these academic accommodations. The reasonable accommodations recommended for each student is based upon an interview with the student and the documentation provided to us about their disability. We believe that every individual is capable of learning and we respect the many different learning styles of our students. We encourage independence and help facilitate a sense of self-worth of our students.
All students are admitted into the University of Illinois Springfield with the same admission standards. The University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign has a rich history of accommodating individuals with disabilities prior to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Springfield campus is respectful of this history and are happy to be a part of the University of Illinois.
The passage and enforcement of the ADA has provided a better life for individuals with disabilities especially with the advancement of technology which opens many doors of online learning for students with disabilities. The University of Illinois Springfield is in the forefront of online learning nationwide.
