Accessibility

It is the responsibility of event sponsors to ask, in advance, if their participants need any ADA related accommodations. If accommodations are needed, the event sponsor must work with the appropriate  campus service providers to meet those needs.  Event sponsors are responsible for the financial costs associated with any necessary accommodations that are needed. For more information about accessibility in the Stamp Student Union go to:   https://stamp.umd.edu/about_us/accessibility_resources
