Getting Started

If you need accommodations while at Wichita State University, you will be working with the Office of Student Accommodations & Testing (OSAT). Our office ensures that we are efficient in our services to provide accommodations for students in and out of the classroom. We also share resources, education, and other services to design a more welcoming, accessible and inclusive environment.

Requesting Accommodations

Some accommodations that OSAT may offer include:
