Suffolk University is dedicated to the concept of a full university education for all its students, by extending all available services and support systems to everyone without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, Vietnam-era or disabled veteran status. In compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Suffolk University recognizes a person with a disability is an individual with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities (e.g., self-care, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing or learning).

The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires that no otherwise qualified individual shall, solely by reason of disability, be denied access to, participation in, or the benefits of any program or activity operated by a university. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 is civil rights legislation that provides a clear and comprehensive national mandate for the elimination of discrimination against individuals with disabilities. In seeking to achieve an equal and unbiased education for all its students, the Dean of Students Office at Suffolk University works to ensure that students with disabilities have access to university services and accommodations, and that they are provided the opportunity to participate fully in university programs, activities, and academic life.

Services for students with disabilities are initiated through the Dean of Students Office at Suffolk University. All inquiries should be made to:
