The Office for Access & Disability Services (ADS) ensures Villanova University’s compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as it relates to academic accommodations. ADS serves as the central resource on campus for matters related to physical disabilities, offering expertise, guidance, and support to students, faculty, and staff.
ADS collaborates with faculty to implement policies and procedures that promote access and inclusion for students with disabilities. The office also serves as a hub for information and referrals regarding disability-related concerns across the university community.
Students with documented disabilities are admitted to Villanova under the same competitive standards as all students. ADS partners with students to identify reasonable accommodations that support their full participation in academic programs. The office also works in coordination with a variety of campus partners to ensure accessible classrooms and campus facilities.
Incoming students are encouraged to schedule an appointment with ADS as early as possible to initiate the accommodations process. For more information or to request an appointment, please contact Mr. Greg Hannah (Director, Office for Access & Disability Services) at gregory.hannah@villanova.edu or the general office email ods@villanova.edu . The office is located on the second floor of the Connelly Center.
