The Office of Student Accessibility & Accommodations (OSAA) is Stockton University's disability support services office.

Our role is to educate, advocate and facilitate equal access while maintaining a welcoming, inclusive and accessible campus community. OSAA engages in an interactive process with each student to determine appropriate accommodations on an individualized, case-by-case, class-by-class basis.

The Office of Student Accessibility & Accommodations reviews students' documentation and collaborates with students, faculty and staff to arrange reasonable accommodations that support students' individual needs.
