The Disability Services Office (DSO) is a unit of the Office for Equal Opportunity (OEO), and is committed to positive action to secure equal opportunity for all faculty, staff, and students. Please contact us if you are a person with a disability and desire any assistive devices, services, or other accommodations.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to support the ongoing development of an accessible university/workplace that embraces and celebrates diversity. We pursue this mission by facilitating effective reasonable accommodations for students, faculty, and staff; by educating the campus community; and by promoting equal access and opportunity. We also attempt to understand the issues of accessibility for all campus constituency groups, and where feasible, attempt to create a climate of cooperation.

Our Philosophy
Our staff works as a team to foster equal access to programs, services, and the work environment for persons with disabilities at NC State. As we do our work, we embrace and celebrate:

People first
An atmosphere of respect for ourselves and others
Self advocacy and responsible action through education of individuals
System change through education and advocacy
The spirit of equal opportunity and achieving a diverse, inclusive university
High results-oriented productivity
Persistence and determination
Effectiveness through simplicity and efficiency
Integrity and honesty
Maximizing strengths and minimizing weaknesses
Creativity, flexibility, and synergy
An environment where expectations and limits are clearly set and communicated

We embrace and celebrate that “disability” is just another great way to be alive.
