Disability Services

Students with disabilities go through a formal process with the University to request accommodations. Students should initially contact Denise O'Sullivan at 202-452-0983 or dosullivan@jhu.edu four weeks prior to the beginning of the semester with their request for accommodations and with documentation from a qualified diagnostician. Ms. O'Sullivan then forwards the documentation and accommodations request to Ms. Peggy Hayselip, the Associate Director for Disability Services in the Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Programs, who recommends accommodations if warranted. Ms. O'Sullivan will inform the student of the recommended accommodations. She will also contact the faculty member about the accommodations needed and coordinate arrangements for any necessary accommodations.

To view the students' instructions for requesting accommodations, please visit this page. For more information about University-wide Disability Services and to view the Faculty Guide, please visit www.jhuaa.org/dss/index.html.
