Students Disability Services
The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of disability in the recruitment and admission of students, or in the operation of any of its programs and activities. The UMHB Student Disability Services Office is available to assist students with disability-related issues including reasonable accommodation under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. It is the student’s responsibility to request disability accommodations each semester.
Students are encouraged to submit requests for accommodations in a timely manner, preferably before a class begins. A student may request an accommodation at any time, but an accommodation cannot be granted by the Disability Services Office until the request is processed and the disability is documented. Accommodations, if approved, cannot be applied retroactively.

Professional and confidential clinical counseling services are available to students in need of assistance with a wide variety of issues. Crisis counseling, stress management, and a range of other emotional issues are addressed, as appropriate, on an individual and support group basis. In person or video counseling options are available to currently enrolled students.
Free counseling services are offered to currently enrolled students on a short-term basis by appointment only. When appropriate, referrals are made to mental health providers in the local area. Confidentiality is maintained in accordance with state regulations and disclosure of information is made only with the written consent of the student, unless permitted by law.
