Description

The Office of Disability Services at Yeshiva University collaborates with students, faculty and staff to provide reasonable accommodations and services to students with disabilities.

Accommodations offered include but are not limited to the following:

• Testing accommodations

• Note-takers

• Use of a computer for exams
