Overview
Disability Services offers a private and confidential atmosphere for students to talk about their disabilities and accommodation requests. We are committed to providing services to qualified students with disabilities so that they receive an equal educational opportunity. In compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Connecticut State Laws, we provide reasonable accommodations to reduce the impact of disabilities on academic functioning, or upon other life activities in the university setting.
The university respects the student’s right to disclose or not to disclose a disability. However, the university is not responsible for providing services or accommodations for students who do not disclose a disability to Disability Services.
To receive services or accommodations, students must provide appropriate documentation. Disability Services is located in the Health Sciences Center, Room 119. Please contact Disability Services at 203-576-4454 or email disabilityservices@bridgeport.edu when requesting accommodations. All accommodations are determined on an individual basis. Requests for assistance and accommodations must be initiated by the student, preferably at least two months prior to the beginning of each academic semester.

The adaptive technology room, also known as the ATR, is the most recent development in Disability Services. Located in room 316 Wahlstrom Library, the ATR was created in 2009 and contains some of the latest adaptive technology equipment available. This room houses several types of hardware and software that can help students with visual, learning, and physical disabilities to utilize computer technology for academic success.
