University of New Hampshire - Student Accessibility Services (SAS)

Student Accessibility Services (SAS) provides a wide range of different supports and services, but providing students with accommodations is a core function of our work. Accommodations are personalized supports that remove specific barriers with the goal of ensuring an individual can meet essential requirements or perform their job duties. The purpose of accommodations are not to change the standards or alter requirements, but instead provide different means of access to the individual.

Depending on the needs of an individual, accommodations can take a wide variety of different forms. This includes, but is not limited to:
