The Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) ensures that Normandale students get equal access to our courses, programs, and events.
If a disability barrier affects your learning, contact the OSD to discuss your needs. We are here year-round to provide support and foster your educational journey. Normandale values diversity in our college community, and we work hard to provide equal access for students.
IMPORTANT: Please note that you should not delay meeting with us out of a concern for not having the right paperwork. At the intake we will discuss specific documentation needs and steps you can take after the meeting. Our first priority is meeting with you, not reviewing the paperwork.
Make an appointment for an intake interview; we'll discuss what reasonable accommodations you may be eligible for and how to implement them.
