Campus Access and Safety

To ensure physical accessibility, Southern Miss strives to fully comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) for buildings and facilities.

Students should report any accessibility or safety concerns, as soon as possible, to anyone in the ODA professional staff (ODA Director, Assistant Director, Disability Specialist, Technology Specialist, or Administrative Assistant). Upon hearing an accessibility or safety concern, ODA will immediately address the situation. ODA works closely with all campus departments to keep the University accessible and safe. Further, ODA maintains a written record of the reported concerns and the University’s efforts to investigate and remedy the issue.

For safety purposes, it is recommended that students with disabilities keep a cellular phone with them at all times.
