Office of Student Access and Accommodations

The Office of Student Access and Accommodations (OSAA) is part of the Division of Student Affairs and offers services and accommodations to students across our three campuses in Manchester, Boston, and Worcester, as well as for online programs and the School of Professional Studies.

The office also collaborates with the wider campus community to address disability-related issues and concerns. The OSAA is responsible for providing student accommodations in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

Please Note: Students must provide five full business days' notice to schedule a testing space with OSAA. For example, if your exam is on Tuesday at 2:00 p.m., you need to submit your request by 1:59 p.m. the Tuesday before your exam. Unfortunately, OSAA cannot accept late exam requests. Due to the high volume of accommodation requests at this time, we are currently scheduling appointments one to two weeks in advance. After meeting with us, please allow up to five to seven business days for the office to review your request and determine eligibility.
