Student Accessibility Services Office

The mission of the Student Accessibility Services Office (SASO) is to foster an inclusive and equitable learning environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive. We recognize accessibility as a fundamental aspect of Duke Kunshan University and are committed to empowering students with disabilities to become independent learners.

SASO ensures that students with disabilities have equal access to all university programs, services, and activities through the provision of accommodations and reasonable modifications. We support students with a range of disabilities, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, learning disabilities, psychological disorders, mobility issues, chronic health conditions, and other medical conditions.

Using a team-based approach, SASO tailors accommodations to meet the unique needs of each student. Accommodations help create an equitable environment, allowing all students to fully engage in their education. If you have a documented disability or suspect you may have one, please contact SASO for guidance.
