1.9 - Student Accommodations

Updated: 1/27/2026

Per the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), an individual with a disability is defined as a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment. 


At institutions of higher education, ADA dictates that students must self-disclose their disabilities in order to receive accommodations. For student accommodations on the OU Health Campus, students should contact Student Accommodation Services .
