Disability Support Services
Disability Support Services (DSS) at GW recognizes disability in the context of diversity. We work collaboratively with students, faculty, and staff across the campus to foster a climate of universal academic excellence while promoting disability culture and GW’s broader diversity and inclusion initiatives.
The new DSS online accommodation management portal is now live. If you are a student enrolled in Summer 2025 courses, you now have the opportunity to request your accommodation letters for the upcoming term. If you are a faculty member teaching this summer, you can now access your Instructor Portal to view your student’s accommodation letters. If you have questions about navigating the new portal, please contact dss
