Accessible Education Office (AEO)

AUB Mediterraneo strives to foster an inclusive university community that welcomes, respects, and values people of diverse backgrounds and abilities. In concert with this mission, the Accessible Education Office, within the Office of Student Affairs, facilitates equitable access for students with disabilities to academic, social, and recreational activities and programs. AEO works in collaboration with students, faculty, and staff to implement services and accommodations that remove barriers to participation for a more robust, and well-rounded student experience. The provision of such accommodations is in accordance with the university’s commitment to these goals, AUB’s non-discrimination policy, and relevant US federal law. The AEO works individually and confidentially with students who choose to disclose disabilities. If you are a student with a documented disability or condition that is affecting your academic achievement and you are seeking accommodations in your courses and programs, we encourage you to contact us to ensure that you get the accommodations you need for your academic pursuits.

The Accessible Education Office is located on the third floor, in room 327, in the Administration building.
