Resources for People with Disabilities
Educational Accessibility
Old Dominion University is committed to achieving equal educational opportunity and full participation for persons with disabilities. The Educational Accessibility office is actively involved in supporting this commitment. EA assesses each student’s needs holistically, taking into consideration the individual within the whole university community. If you have a disability, and wish to make Old Dominion aware of this so that we provide services you need, please work with your site director, Military Distance Learning contact, or other campus representative to get started.
