Disability Services for Students provides services to students with documented disabilities to ensure that all University activities and programs are accessible. The office also promotes the development of student self-reliance and the personal independence necessary to succeed in a university climate. We seek to create a comprehensively accessible environment where students are viewed on a basis of ability, not disability.

The University of New Hampshire believes that students have the right and also the responsibility to determine whether or not to use support services. Please note: support services do not provide students with any advantage over their peers; rather they help to "level the playing field" permitting equal access to the University environment.

We invite you to connect with us to learn first hand about the variety of options available to students with physical, medical, psychiatric or learning disabilities.

Veteran Support

DSS provides individualized accommodations and support services for veteran students with disabilities. Students can meet with a professional staff member to discuss options for needed accommodations. Our meetings and contact will be discreet and CONFIDENTIAL.

In order to receive services from DSS you must provide documentation of your disability from an appropriate professional. Feel free to contact the DSS office for specific documentation guidelines. We also can accept paperwork that discloses the disability diagnosis, such any DD Form, diagnostic exam, or evaluation.

DSS understands the difficulties in getting paperwork from the Veteran's Administration. If you have trouble obtaining any documentation, please contact the office directly at (603) 862-2607.  You will be directed to someone who can assist you in the process.
