We've moved....across the hall!

If you haven't been by, the Student Accessibility Services staff has moved to a new space, just across the hall from our old location.

Our old office space is still used by our friends at Oklahoma ABLE Tech, so be sure to visit us in our new spot for all your accessibility needs! If you’re unsure where to find us, just look for the signs or ask nearby staff. We’re here to help!

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation throughout this transition. We can’t wait to welcome you into our new spaces!
