Welcome to Disability and Accessibility Services (DAS) at Loyola University Maryland!

Loyola University Maryland welcomes and supports students with disabilities. Consistent with our core values and in support of our strategic plan, we appreciate the diversity that students with disabilities bring to the University.

Disability and Accessibility Services' mission is to provide students with disabilities the equal opportunity to participate in all Loyola programs and activities so students can learn, lead, and serve in a diverse and changing world. The DAS staff ensures students have equal access to Loyola programs and activities by eliminating barriers (e.g., physical, programmatic, attitudinal, or electronic). Disability and Accessibility Services reviews students' requests for accommodations and helps arrange appropriate and reasonable supports and modifications so that students may fully participate in life at the University.
