Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) coordinates IPFW's programming for people with disabilities - as required by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The office provides free and appropriate academic aids and services including the use of accessible computers and assistive equipment, reader and sign interpreter services, special test proctoring services, academic support and counseling assistance specific to disability issues, and more. SSD also serves the campus community as an advocate/consultant resource on all disability related issues.
IPFW does not provide personal attendant care or transportation services. Students must be able to attend to their personal care and needs or must arrange independently for such services if needed. Although a personal escort from Police and Safety may be provided during times of inclement weather, students are responsible for their transportation to and from campus and between classes and other facilities. Students are responsible, when required by class instructors to always attend classes.
