Announcements
Back to School
- Students – Remember to request your accommodations for the semester, request your accommodation verification letters, and connect with your instructors to discuss your needs.
- Faculty – Please make sure that your course content and materials are accessible. If you receive an accommodation request, please refer the student to Disability Services and ask for a verification letter. Review accommodation letters, work with students early, and reach out if you need support.
Accommodate App
Disability Services is piloting a new support application for students and faculty called Accommodate. You can currently access the test version of the app through eWeber. Students may schedule appointments, request letters, or verify their decision status. Faculty have increased tools to track accommodations by student and course. Contact us if you’d like to learn more or join the pilot.
The Disability Services office is being remodeled!
During construction, you can find our administrative and advising staff in Student Services 230D (Career Services), and our testing check-in desk in Lindquist Hall Room 232.
Disability Services will be closed for Labor Day
Disability Services will be closed for Labor Day, Monday September 1. Please plan accordingly.
Accessible Content
Everyone plays a role in improving accessibility and complying with the law. If you create digital content (websites, Canvas courses, social media posts), please make sure it is accessible for all users. Visit the new Accessibility website for support.
Parking
Weber State parking passes are required to park on campus, including disabled parking stalls. If you have a disability parking permit, contact Parking Services for information on getting a disabled parking permit.
Disability Services provides services and accommodations to qualified students with disabilities attending or planning to attend Weber State University.

Student Stories
As the 2020–2021 academic year begins at Weber State University, twin brothers, both legally blind, will continue to inspire others as they live in pursuit of the mantra, “Go big or go home.”
Armand and Antonio Berry were born premature and are survivors of shaken baby syndrome at the hands of their biological father. The brothers’ retinas were damaged when they were shaken as infants.
Maria Rios Cabrera, a senior with a double major in mechanical engineering and economics and a minor in math, has a passion for helping students with learning disabilities.
“Having a disability doesn’t make you dumb or less valuable as a human being. In fact, it makes you a more well-rounded person, because you view the world differently, you can adapt really quickly, and you can connect with people in a way that other people can’t.”
A sophomore at Weber State, Brodee Kendrick is active in student leadership, works on campus, and is about to earn his associate’s degree. It’s a stark contrast from his childhood, when Kendrick struggled in school due to anxiety, dyslexia and ADHD.
“I always associated school with hard things and uncomfortable feelings, so I was fine with the idea that high school would be my highest degree,” he said.
