Services for Persons with Disabilities

Southern Methodist University is committed to providing an inclusive and accessible campus for students, faculty, staff and visitors with disabilities. The President's Advisory Committee on the Needs of Persons with Disabilities (PACNPD) was established to support this effort and make annual recommendations to the University President.

Students should contact the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities for questions and concerns. Faculty, staff, and visitors can address questions to the Office of Institutional Access and Equity. Website accessibility issues should be directed to the Director of E-Marketing.
