DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES

It is our goal to help meet the needs of individuals registered and documented through the office, whether the disability is permanent or temporary. Our mission is to see that no student is excluded or discriminated against in participating in any Canisius College program, function, or activity, while maintaining the highest level of academic integrity. We advocate responsibility for an accessible and holistic learning environment, through removal of informational, physical, and attitudinal barriers.
The DSS staff is devoted to providing the college community support and services necessary to achieve excellence in academic, social, and personal growth. We promote self-advocacy and self-determination, while reinforcing personal responsibility. Our aim is with proper accommodations; all qualified individuals with disabilities at Canisius will have the opportunity to achieve success.
