The DSS Office, DSS Testing Office, and DHHS Office have temporarily relocated to the 4th floor of Susquehanna Hall through July 2010.

If you are a DSS student who has a mobility disability and you believe that you will have difficulty getting to our new, temporary location at Susquehanna Hall, please call the DSS front desk at 301-314-7682 to schedule your appointments to meet with a counselor in the Adpative Technology Lab - located in 1103 McKeldin Library. DSS counselors will also be available at the Adaptive Technology Lab at the beginning of semester to distribute accommodations letters to you. When you request your letters, please let us know that you need to pick them up at the Lab.

Please call 301.314.7682 for more information.

Directions to DSS

Established in 1976, the Disability Support Service (DSS) at the University of Maryland, College Park has been steadily growing from its original clientele of 7 persons to over 1000.

The mission of the Disablility Support Service is to coordinate services that ensure individuals with disabilities equal access to University of Maryland College Park programs. DSS approaches this mission in three ways:

  1. We provide and coordinate direct services for students, faculty, staff, and campus visitors with disabilities. Services are tailored to meet the needs of individuals based on their specific disabilities.

  2. We educate and provide consultation to University faculty, staff, and administrators in order to increase their awareness and sensitivity toward individuals with disabilities.

  3. We provide students and staff with disabilities the opportunity to gain the skills necessary to effectively advocate for themselves within the University community.
