Student Accessibility Support

Students who identify as having a disability(ies) and are struggling with the transition to higher education, may benefit from meeting with the SAS Fellows. 

Fellows are available to advise students on many different topics including but not limited to; campus resources, accommodation letter discussions with faculty, time management skills, using the Accessible Transport Van, importance of campus involvement, and navigating the dining halls, and more.

Visit the Peer Mentoring Drop Ins and Appointments page for more information.

Yes you can! The SAS Fellows email is SASFellows@brandeis.edu. The Fellows will answer your emails during their office hours in the order they were received. If a SAS Fellow cannot answer your email, they will consult a SAS staff member who will contact you directly.

If your email requires an immediate response, please contact Student Accessibility Support by email.

This email account should not be used for emergency purposes. If you have an emergency on the Brandeis University campus, please dial 781-736-3333. You may also dial 911 to be connected to Emergency Personnel in your respective area.

Please note: The SAS Fellows check this email account when classes are in session, during the Fall and Spring semester. This does not include the Winter or Summer intercession semesters, holidays, weekends, or days classes are canceled due to unforeseen circumstances (i.e., snow storm).

We understand the frustration and the fear around going to talk to someone, and then hearing the words "I do not know."  The SAS Fellows are students, and are able to only answer questions within the boundaries of their training. If during a meeting they cannot answer a question and if that person needs/want additional support from a staff member, the SAS Fellow will send an email with the student and a SAS staff member to "e-connect" them. 

SAS Staff Members and SAS Fellows work closely to support you. We are here and we care about you.
