Welcome to Fall 2020! The Office of Disability Services is committed to providing guidance and resources for students with disabilities during this time. If you have a question about your accommodations or other accessibility matters, the office will be operating normal business hours in primarily a virtual format, however we will also have daily staff presence in our office from 8-5.

Appointments are available via phone or teleconference. To schedule an appointment, please contact the office at dsinfo@gatech.edu or via phone at 404-894-2563 and you will be contacted by a staff member. Appointments are available in person but we prefer to meet students by phone or through virtual meetings (e.g., Bluejeans, MS Teams).

For those who take exams through Disability Services, your professors are in many cases making arrangements for all students to take exams through CANVAS or other virtual means. If you have questions about how your accommodations will be implemented in these formats, please contact the main office or the Disability Services Testing Center at dstesting@gatech.edu. Test proctoring will still be provided through ODS Testing Center for those exams that will be face-to-face, but students must schedule at least 3 business days in advance to assure that we have appropriate rooms available to effectively social distance.
