Welcome to AU

American University is committed to providing you a fully accessible environment for learning and student involvement

Welcome to Disability Support Services

The mission of Disability Support Services (DSS) is to ensure that students with physical, medical, or psychological disabilities have equal access to university programs and services. DSS provides or coordinates a range of services and accommodations that meet the individual needs of a student based on the impact of the specific disability.

Please note that students with learning disabilities or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder should contact the Academic Support Center at 202-885-3360 or asc@american.edu. Faculty and staff who are seeking accommodation for a disability should contact Human Resources.
