Disability Services & Accommodations

At the University of Denver, we take accessibility very seriously. If you believe you may have difficulty with access to our Kennedy Mountain Campus Ascent experiences because you use a wheelchair or have other mobility needs, please contact the Disability Services Program as soon as possible so they can assist you in planning and accommodating your access. As far as your academic access at KMC, we believe that once you provide your accommodation letter to your instructors, your accommodations will be implemented.
