Our Charge, Disability Defined

The UCLA Center for Accessible Education (CAE) is responsible for the administration of UCLA’s commitment to ensuring access and participation for all students with qualifying disabilities or medical conditions. The CAE facilitates academic accommodations in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act (1990), and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA). The CAE provides access to the numerous educational opportunities available to students on our campus and empowers students to realize their academic potential.

Stay Connected with CAE

We prioritize proactive and regular communication with faculty, as we believe faculty are critical partners in the work of access and disability-inclusion on campus. Faculty are always welcome to attend one of our Disability Specialist Drop-Ins to get their questions or concerns answered more quickly. The schedule for these sessions are available on our homepage.

Additionally, we encourage faculty to regularly consult our quarterly updates and sign-up for our monthly newsletter, where we will share useful and helpful information to campus partners on supporting disabled students. You can find links to these resources below.
