The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) is committed to providing for the needs of enrolled or admitted students who have disabilities under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA).  Therefore, it is the policy of UTEP that the campus makes services available for any student who, through a recent assessment, can document a disability. 

Students are able to receive assistance unique to their disability to ensure equality and fairness as they attend UTEP through the Disabled Students Services Office (DSSO).  In addition, DSSO works closely with faculty and staff in an advisory capacity to assist in determining reasonable accommodations that allow students with disabilities to participate in all programs offered on campus.
