MCPHS University and the Office of Student Access and Accommodations (OSAA) are committed to ensuring that students with disabilities have equal, effective, and meaningful access to educational opportunities and programs.
You can reach OSAA at OSAA@mcphs.edu, or at 617.879.5995.
Students are encouraged to meet with OSAA to discuss reasonable accommodations on the basis of disability if they have a physical or mental impairment that limits a major life activity.
Determination of reasonable accommodations is a deliberative and collaborative process between the student and OSAA. MCPHS University will consider the student’s disability, history, experience, request, and the unique characteristics of the course, program, or requirement, in order to determine if a specific accommodation is reasonable.
Requesting Services
Deposited students who have received their MCPHS student ID and email address can complete the OSAA Student Request for Services Form (SRS). Requests can be completed online, mailed, faxed, or hand-delivered to the OSAA office.
Then, submit supporting, current, clinical documentation from a qualified professional which may include past 504 plans, IEP's, psychoeducational evaluations, and/or letters from physicians, psychologists, or a licensed mental health professional. Documentation can be uploaded to the SRS Form, mailed, faxed, or hand-delivered to the OSAA office.
MCPHS University ensures FERPA compliance and therefore all information submitted OSAA will remain confidential.
Students will then be invited through your MCPHS email to an intake appointment to discuss your request. If you are found eligible, you will be responsible for communicating your accommodations to each professor and manage your service requests within appropriate timeframes.
