Welcome to the Office for Disability Equity

The University of Montana strives to ensure that all aspects of campus programming – learning, living, working, and engaging – are accessible. The Office for Disability Equity (ODE) provides consultation, education, and direct services so that students with disabilities have an equal opportunity to participate and achieve. We also promote full integration by demonstrating best practices for access and collaborating with UM’s diverse community to reduce the need for separate accommodations. 

What We do:

• Get to know students individually.
• Facilitate reasonable accommodations for students.
• Connect students and faculty with resources on and off campus.
• Guide physical accessibility.
• Advocate for the removal of attitudinal and procedural barriers.
• Promote full integration through consultation and education.

ODE Portal

Accommodate is the online portal for students and faculty working with the Office for Disability Equity. Students can schedule appointments with their consultant, view and download their accommodation letter, and book accommodated exams. Faculty can use the portal to approve accommodated exams.
