ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Statement

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights protection for persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accomodation of their disabilities. If you believe that you have a disability requiring an accommodation, please contact the Department of Disability Services in Cain Hall Room B118 or call 979-845-1637.



Handicapped Parking

There are five spaces designated for handicapped parking in front of the main entrance to Cain Hall, two of which are time-limited, with a two-hour maximum.


There is no client parking at Cain Hall.

See more information about parking at Cain Hall.


Wheelchair Access

The main entrance to Cain Hall is wheelchair accessible. All offices and public areas of the building are wheelchair accessible, and accessible rest rooms are available on the first floor of the building, just past the SCS reception area, in rooms B105 and B106. An elevator services all three floors of Cain Hall A-Wing.


Vision Impaired Access

All signs in Cain Hall follow ADA guidelines, and door signs are in both contrasting raised letters and in Braille. Door signs are either on the wall five feet from the floor on the door knob side, or in the center of the closed door if there is no sign on the wall.


Speech and Hearing Impaired Access

The HelpLine phone number is equipped with both voice and teletype assistive devices (V/TTY).

We have made a special effort to make our facilities more easily accessible. If you need special accommodations that we have not anticipated, or if you have any suggestions for improving the accessibility of our building, any of our services or programs, or these web pages, please let us know.
