Disability Access Services

Disability Access Services (DAS) at NMSU Grants coordinates accommodations for qualified students under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA, 1990) and section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.  This program may not be able to meet all needs and requests; however, a reasonable effort will be made to facilitate physical and programmatic access.  To provide qualify services, DAS procedures include self-identification of persons with disabilities and determination of their eligibility for services.  Student with disabilities must request services and provide appropriate documentation from public schools, agencies, physicians, psychologists, and/or other qualified diagnosticians.

Qualified students may received the following forms of free assistance/accommodations: sign-language interpreters, note-taking assistance, readers, enlarged print, E-text, audio text, computer/software adaptations, alternative keyboards, accessible furniture, priority registration, and referral and liaison for many of these services.

More information may be obtained from the DAS office on the Grants Campus in the Student Services Office or by calling 505-287-6628.
