Workplace Accommodations
About
UMass Amherst is fully committed to providing full and equal access to information and services for our community's current and potential members.
We embrace disability as a natural part of diversity and seek to build the capacity to appreciate and value individual differences, including differences in ability, to create an inclusive community. In addition to providing support and accommodations for faculty and staff through the Accessible Workplace Unit, UMass Amherst offers accessibility support and assistance for the entire UMass Amherst community.
The Accessible Workplace Unit
The Accessible Workplace Unit (AWU) within Human Resources is responsible for administering reasonable workplace accommodations for faculty and staff through an interactive process.
