AccessibleNU-Q

AccessibleNU-Q (formerly Services for Students with Disabilities) within the Department of Student Affairs, promotes a fully inclusive and accessible academic experience for all students, free from physical and attitudinal barriers, insuring accessibility to all university programs.

To be eligible for disability-related services a student must:

• Apply and be accepted for admission to NU-Q through the regular admissions process
• Provide current and comprehensive documentation of a temporary or permanent disability which requires accommodation
• Register with AccessibleNU-Q at the beginning of each semester

AccessibleNU-Q obtains and files disability-related documents, certifies eligibility for services, determines reasonable accommodations and develops plans for the provision of such accommodations. 

AccessibleNU-Q offers accommodations counseling, evaluation referral, disability-related information, adaptive technology services and equipment, interpreter services for academically related purposes, learning strategy support, coaching and psychological support. AccessibleNU-Q does not offer nor pay for disability evaluations or testing, tutoring, personal expenses, attendants or scholarships.
