Student Mobility Services Center (SMSC)

Regularly enrolled students with a verified permanent or temporary disability may have access to the Mobility Services Center.

Van Transportation is available to and from classes within a 3.5 mile radius of campus and for academic internships within a 5 mile radius of campus.  Students may also utilize the van service for other activities related to their academic program, i.e., field trips, social service agency and medical appointments.  Regularly employed personal care assistants (PCAs) may accompany their employer on van rides if the PCA's presence is necessary for personal care or health purposes.

Some students have found the SSD electric cart (Bravecart) to be helpful as they traverse long distances within the campus core.  The SMSC provides on-foot assistance to students with visual impairments who need to go to on-campus locations with which they are unfamiliar and for non-routine academic matters.  The Center also provides assistance locating accommodating (e.g., stairless) routes on campus.

Other Services Available
  • Adaptive equipment, i.e., wheelchairs, crutches, canes, lap desks and overbed tables, are available for loan.
  • Minor equipment repair or assistance locating repair services.
  • Battery-powered, adaptive equipment re-charging:  space permitting.
