The office works in collaboration with students, faculty, and staff to implement services and accommodations that remove barriers to participation in a robust and well-rounded student experience. The provision of such accommodations is in accordance with the university's commitment to these goals, AUB Mediterraneo's non-discrimination policy, and relevant US federal law. The office works in an individualized and confidential manner to provide the needed accommodation to students with special needs and disabilities.
