Office of Student Accessibility Services (OSAS)
osas.usc.edu
Office of Student Accessibility Services (OSAS) is the unit at USC responsible for ensuring equal access for students with disabilities in compliance with state and federal law. OSAS serves undergraduate, graduate and professional students; on-ground and on-line students; and students in all credit-granting courses and programs of study.

The OSAS team is committed to serving the USC community through: ensuring equal access, removing disability-related obstacles, supporting civil rights, and increasing education and awareness on behalf of students with disabilities.

Enrolled USC students may register with OSAS at any time. Current and incoming students are encouraged to connect with OSAS well before the start of a term so that any accommodations or services can be in place as early in the term as possible.
