Prospective Students
The University of Pennsylvania and the Office of Student Disabilities Services (SDS) welcome all students. Penn supports and complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Policies and procedures have been developed to provide students with as much independence as possible, to promote self-advocacy, and to provide students with disabilities the same exceptional opportunities available to all Penn students. We invite you to contact a member of the SDS staff if you have any questions. The following links may also be helpful:
