Student Accessibility Services
We work to create an accessible Coppin community where students with disabilities have an equal opportunity to fully participate in all aspects of their academic journey. We offer services and programs that promote student independence and ensure students are treated and respected on the basis of ability and not disability.
Welcome to Coppin! We're delighted you're here.
We are the Student Accessibility Services office, your campus resource for disability questions, services, and accommodations. We work to create a comprehensively accessible environment where we view students, staff, and faculty on the basis of ability and not disability.
What happens when I come to the office?
When you come into the office to request services, a staff member greets and registers you. You'll receive information about our programs and services, as well as specific documentation guidelines for your disability. We then complete your intake registration and process your disability verification documentation.
We work with you to ensure you have the supports, tools, and services to make your Coppin experience a positive one. We want you to feel included and encouraged in a campus environment that fosters your potential and gives you the power to transform your life.
