Accessibility and Accommodations
Accessibility and Accommodations
At Georgetown University in Qatar (GU-Q), we are committed to Universal Design and Accessibility. We strive to provide a welcoming and supportive environment for all students and individuals visiting our building, including those with disabilities. GU-Q adheres to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), and section 504 of the 1973 Office of Civil Rights Rehabilitation Act.
Academic Accommodations
The Office of Academic Services (OAS) provides academic accommodations for students with diagnosed disabilities, in accordance with the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and based on recommendations from the Student Wellness and Counseling Center.
Student Wellness & Counseling Center
Student Wellness & Counseling Center (SWCC) provides holistic wellness services for all GU-Q students. You can explore a range of services from psychoeducation to outreach, assessment, crisis intervention, and counseling depending on your needs.
The SWCC also provides student-centered and program-centered consultation and training for other members of the GU-Q community. The services provided by the SWCC promote wellness by acknowledging and respecting differences and advocating for and fostering inclusive environments.
Information for Faculty
The Office of Academic Services welcomes collaboration with faculty in a number of ways. If you have a student you think would benefit from a one-on-one tutoring session at the OAS, please direct the student to our office. For a broader range of support, OAS offers in-class mini-workshops and achievement support collaborative workshops. Contact us to help address the needs of your course or assignment. We also offer review sessions in economics as well as customized support for language learners.
