Disability Services

The mission of Disability Services is to insure accessibility for all students to university programs. The Department of Student Affairs Counseling & Wellness Program administers Disability Services (DS) at Texas A&M University at Qatar. DS, with the assistance of Disability Services at Texas A&M University, offers accommodations counseling, evaluation referral, disability-related information, and adaptive technology counseling and equipment for academically related purposes. Although DS does not offer disability evaluation and/or testing, tutoring, personal expenses, attendants or scholarships, we will provide referral information.

The University has the right to set and maintain standards for admitting students and evaluating their progress and is not obligated to waive any requirements that are fundamental or essential to the integrity of the program. Thus students with disabilities must meet the academic or technical standards for participation in a program, given appropriate accommodations.

The Counseling & Wellness Program Coordinator and Counselor, along with the support and guidance of Disability Services at Texas A&M University, disseminates information about available services, evaluate requests for services to determine eligibility and appropriate accommodations, and assist students in obtaining those accommodations.

Once a student's disabilities have been verified and accommodations are identified through DS, he/she will receive a letter from DS verifying his/her eligibility for particular accommodations which he/she can then share with relevant faculty or staff member to arrange the specific accommodation(s).

The Counseling & Wellness Program is located in Room 133D in the Texas A&M Engineering Building. Office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Sunday through Thursday. Please call 423-0047 or email dsa@qatar.tamu.edu for further information or to set up an appointment.
