Students with identified disabilities have been admitted into Villanova University by the same criteria as other students and they have met the same rigorous standards for admission. The office meets with students to determine accommodations needed tosucceed in academic programs. ODS works closely with Facilities Management to insure classroom and facility accessibility.
Incoming students should make an appointment with the office to request accommodations by contacting either Mr. Greg Hannah (610-519-3209) or Dr. Stephen McWilliams (610-519-4095). The office is located on the second floor of the Connelly Center.
