Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (OEI) 

OIEC consists of the Department of Diversity and Civil Rights Compliance (DECRC), Department of Accessibility Services (DAS), and Department of Title IX (DTIX).   

Emory University’s School of Nursing is committed to ensuring that all University goods, services, facilities, and programs are meaningfully accessible to eligible persons with disability in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and other pertinent federal, state, and local laws. 

Emory University complies with Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Vietnam Era Veteran's Readjustment Assistance Act, and applicable executive orders, federal and state regulations regarding nondiscrimination, equal opportunity, and affirmative action (for protected veterans and individuals with disabilities). Inquiries regarding this policy should be directed to the Emory University Department of Equity and Civil Rights Compliance, 201 Dowman Drive, Administration Building, Atlanta, GA 30322. Telephone: 404-727-9867 (V) | 404-712-2049 (TDD). 

Department of Accessibility Services (DAS) 

Emory provides all persons an equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from programs and services afforded to others. The Department of Accessibility Services (DAS), part of the Office of Equity and Inclusion, assists qualified students, faculty, and staff with obtaining a variety of services and ensures that all matters of equal access, reasonable accommodation, and compliance are properly addressed. Qualified students must register with DAS and make a request for services. Confidentiality is honored and maintained. The Office is located at 1946 Starvine Way, Suite 310, Decatur, GA 30033. DAS may be contacted via phone at 404.727.9877 or for student-related emails: accessibility@emory.edu, oas_testing@emory.edu, and oas_notetaking@emory.edu. 

Student Responsibility for Accessing DAS Services 

If you have a documented disability and have anticipated barriers related to the format or requirements of a course, or presume having a disability (e.g. mental health, attention, learning, vision, hearing, physical or systemic), and need accommodation, contact the Department of Accessibility Services (DAS) to learn more about steps for requesting accommodations. DAS website: http://accessibility.emory.edu/about/index.html 

Students who have an accommodation should contact the course faculty and provide written documentation from the DAS no later than the first week of the semester, or as soon as DAS documentation is obtained, to communicate specific needs for the course. All discussions with DAS and faculty concerning the nature of your disability remain confidential.
