At The Ohio State University at College of Food Agriculture and Environmental Sciences Wooster Campus, we believe all students should have equal access to higher education and college life. The Office for Disability Services (ODS) provides accommodations and support services for eligible students.
The mission of the Office for Disability Services is to provide and coordinate free support services and programs to maximize the ability of all students to develop their potential, be fully present in their college experience, and be involved in a world of inclusion on campus and in their future workplaces. Our office arranges reasonable accommodations and support services that areindividualized and flexible. ODS creates opportunities for the same educational experiences, services, and enrichment to persons with disabilities that are offered to those who are not disabled.
All students are encouraged to contact ODS in the early stages of their college planning. Preadmission services include information about academic support services, specialized equipment, transition issues, admission requirements, and meetings with staff counselors.
Placement Test Accommodations: If you have a disability and need extended time, a scribe, a reader or other support services for the English or placement exam, register with Disability Services in order to request placement test accommodations. You will need to provide documentation before accommodations can be authorized. Address questions or concerns to the Wooster Campus, ODS at faes-atiods@osu.edu or 330-287-1247.
Accessible Information Management (or AIM for short) is Disability Service’s online portal for students and instructors.
- Students new to Disability Services use AIM to submit their application for registration.
- SLDS-registered students use AIM to generate their Course Accessibility Letters and (for Columbus campus) submit exam scheduling requests.
- Instructors and course coordinators use AIM to manage accommodation requests and (for Columbus campus) submit proctoring information and exam materials.
NOTE: To ensure that you do not miss important emails sent via AIM, we encourage you to either: 1. Add the domain "post.accessiblelearning.com" to your safe sender list (Outlook 365 instructions) 2. Regularly check your junk mail folder.

Our Staff Staff members at ODS are specialists in particular areas. You will work with someone who is trained and knowledgeable. They will consult with you on issues of academic, dining, and housing accommodations, disability adjustment, learning strategies, advocacy skills, and transition. Staff members are involved in a variety of additional activities. At times they act as advocates for students to ensure access to appropriate accommodations or they may serve as consultants to faculty and staff on disability-related issues. They provide in-service training to the community as well as participate in various campus committees. The primary goal of each staff member, however, is to ensure that students with disabilities have equal access to our college and the education they seek.
