Disability Accommodations & Success Strategies
Disability Accommodations & Success Strategies (DASS) provides accommodations and services to SMU students with disabilities.
We're committed to ensuring equal access.
The Disability Accommodations and Success Strategies (DASS) office at SMU is committed to ensuring that students with disabilities have equal access to the University, including its curriculum, programs, and activities. The office evaluates and approves reasonable accommodations for students who are significantly impacted by a condition considered disabling under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Through collaboration with students, faculty, and staff, DASS empowers students to effectively utilize on and off-campus resources to achieve academic and personal success. We look forward to working with you!
