Disability Services

At A&M-Victoria, we understand that many of our veterans may grapple with many physical and mental challenges. These may include an array of emotional disorders, physical disabilities, and even cognitive ailments such as learning disabilities (LD) or attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). If this is you, we encourage you to identify yourself with our Office of Disability Services.

In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, A&M-Victoria is committed to providing quality services to students who have permanent or temporary disabilities. Our overall goal is to ensure that all students have equal access to the programs and activities that we offer at A&M-Victoria. This is specifically true with our veterans. In order to minimize the impact of the disability in the academic setting, the Office of Disability Services will arrange for reasonable accommodations, auxiliary aids, and support services based on the specific needs of each student at no cost.
