Welcome
The University of Chicago is a community of students, scholars, researchers, educators, and staff members devoted to the pursuit of knowledge. We seek to create an environment conducive to learning, teaching, conducting research, and working that values the diversity of our community. We are, therefore, sensitive to the academic, personal, and work-related needs of each individual, and we are committed to helping those with disabilities become full participants in the life of the University.
Although we are able to respond to most requests for accommodation, there are natural and legal limitations to what we can do. In light of what is feasible and reasonable under the law, it is the University's goal to assist disabled individuals in being productive and successful in their endeavors.

Accessibility Improvements on Campus
The Office of the Provost launched, in the Spring of 2007, initiatives in an effort to consolidate campus information and resources that would be useful to members of our community and visitors with disabilities.
