Access Services
Access Services engages students with physical, learning, emotional, and temporary disabilities to determine collaboratively whether and what kinds of reasonable accommodations might be beneficial to provide access to academic courses and programs at Fuller.
We do this through dialogue between the student, Access Services, and relevant medical/psychological professionals. This office leads the Fuller community in its commitments in recognizing students with disabilities as valued members of our community and the diverse body of God's people, to remove barriers and work toward universal access for all campus programs, and to design environments of welcome and hospitality. Access Services embraces the perception of disability as an area of diversity and is steadfast in creating an enlightened context for disability, thereby redefining the term disability and the beliefs around it. A student's success may not be in spite of a disability, but conceivably because of it!
Access Services can also assist in requesting accommodation in housing and campus facilities.
