ONCE ADMITTED TO MTSU
MTSU is committed to insuring that students with disabilities have an equal opportunity
to fully access and participate in their educational experience at MTSU.
Disabled Student Services is available to assist you in coordinating accommodations
that will give you an equal opportunity and help you maximize your learning potential
as you make the transition into, through, and out of the University.
Once you have chosen MTSU, the following guidelines will assist you in making a smooth
transition into the University:
- Review the Disabled Student Services web page for accommodations, policies, and procedures.
- Submit current, comprehensive, professional documentation of your disability to Disabled
Student Services. Your documentation will be evaluated based on the appropriate guidelines
located on the web site at: http://www.mtsu.edu/dssemail/forms.php.
- Complete a Disabled Student Services Registration Application for services. Return all documents to Disabled Students Services via mail to MTSU,
PO Box 7, Murfreesboro, TN 37132, via fax (615-898-4893), via email (dssemail@mtsu.edu), or in person (KUC 120).
- Once all documents are received, we will review your documentation and call to set
up a meeting to discuss it further. If your documentation meets our guidelines, we
will complete the registration process and discuss appropriate accommodations. (If
you submit documentation, but for some reason do not hear from DSS within 2 weeks,
then please call 615-898-2783 to request a meeting.)
PLEASE NOTE:
It is the student's responsibility to arrange for certain services which are outside
the scope of Disabled Student Services and the University. These services include,
but may not be limited to, attendant care, mobility training, items/services of a
personal nature, and sources of financial aid. Disabled Student Services will be glad
to consult with you regarding your special needs and possible local resources.
