The Office of Disability Services is located on the Fourth floor of South Hall on the campus of Bowling Green State University.

The Disability Services Office is evidence of Bowling Green State University's commitment to provide a support system which assists in conquering obstacles that persons with disabilities may encounter as they pursue their educational goals and activities. Our hope is to facilitate mainstream mobility and recognize the diverse talents that persons with disabilities have to offer to our University and our community. In compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act and applicable rules of the Department of Education, BGSU is developing further plans to assure equal educational and employment opportunities.
