The Office of Disability and Testing Services is charged with providing services to students with disabilities. Disability and Testing Services also provides resources and supports for exams and assessments at Cleveland State University. There are over 1,500 students registered to receive accommodations in a wide variety of areas of the campus experience. We engage students in an interactive process to determine which accommodations are appropriate for reducing barriers for our students. Supports are provided for students and faculty for testing accommodations, placement exams, and exam scoring through our Testing Services.
