The application process is the same for all students. There is no requirement to provide disability related information to the Admissions Office. Documentation of your disability should be sent directly to ODS. Your eligibility for services/accommodations from ODS is a separate process from admissions.

Documentation can be sent or hand delivered to Hopewell South, Room 53:
Office for Disability Services
Newark Campus
1179 University Drive
Newark, OH 43055
Fax number 740-364-9646

After documentation is reviewed, you will receive a letter from ODS acknowledging its receipt and indicating if additional information is needed.
