What is SAS?
Student Accommodation Services, or SAS, is a functional service area on the OU Health Sciences and OU-Tulsa campuses. Effective November 2024, SAS is responsible for all reasonable accommodations and temporary modifications, taking over responsibility from Norman Campus' Accessibility & Disability Resource Center (ADRC). SAS serves all students geographically based on the OU-Tulsa campus, the OU Health Sciences campus, and all OU Health Sciences program additional sites. If you are a Norman or OU Online campus student, please visit the Accessibility and Disability Resource Center website.
Students are encouraged to review our SAS web pages to find all information relative to our registration process, documentation guidelines, renewing existing accommodations, resources specific to faculty, and more.
Definition of Disability
Per the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), an individual with a disability is defined as a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment.
At institutions of higher education, ADA dictates that students must self-disclose their disabilities in order to receive accommodations. Accommodations are not deemed to be in-place or official until the initial registration process is completed.
