Advising Resources

Carlow University makes every reasonable effort to provide qualified applicants and students with disabilities with the opportunity to take full advantage of its programs, activities, services and facilities.

The University’s Disabilities Services Office (DSO) does this, in part, by arranging specific reasonable and effective accommodations for students through collaboration with students, faculty, and staff. The DSO’s approach allows for a confidential and balanced review of documentation and a thoroughly researched plan for qualified students.

Carlow's DSO attempts to accommodate students based on their individual needs, with proper documentation.

Example include:

• Conversion of documents to an alternative, accessible format
• Enlarged print
• Zoom text — screen reader software
• Audio taped textbooks
• Extended testing time
• Separate testing booths
• Dragon Naturally Speaking® software
• Classroom relocation

To request an accommodation, please visit the DSO site and click on "Request an Accommodation."

To support Carlow’s core values, to ensure compliance with federal and state civil rights laws and regulations, and to affirm its commitment to promoting fairness and equity in all aspects of the institution, Carlow University has developed internal policies and procedures that provide a prompt, fair and impartial process for those involved in an allegation of discrimination, harassment on the basis of protected class status, sexual misconduct, and allegations of retaliation.
