New Location
The Center for Students with Disabilities at the University of Connecticut is now located in Room 204 of the Wilbur Cross Building. This new location was formerly occupied by the Department of Residential Life and is located directly adjacent to our previous office in Room 201. Please feel welcome to visit us in our new office! As always, you may still reach us at (860) 486-2020 or by email at csd@uconn.edu.
Through the merge of the Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD) and the University Program for College Students with Learning Disabilities (UPLD), one office now serves all students with disabilities. All students may contact us by visiting us in the Wilbur Cross Building, Room 204, calling (860) 486-2020 or emailing csd@uconn.edu. Please see below for more information on the merge of the UPLD with CSD.
Through the integration of teaching, research, and service, it is the mission of the University of Connecticut to provide an outstanding educational experience for each student. The mission of the Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD) is to enhance this experience for students with disabilities. Our goal is to ensure a comprehensively accessible University experience where individuals with disabilities have the same access to programs, opportunities and activities as all others. The Center is also committed to promoting access and awareness as a resource to all members of the community.
While complying with the letter of the law, the CSD also embraces its spirit by providing services to all students with permanent or temporary disabilities to ensure that all University programs and activities are accessible. The Center can assist students to maximize their potential while helping them develop and maintain independence. Our philosophy is one that promotes self-awareness, self-determination, and self-advocacy in a comprehensively accessible environment.
