Accessibility

Transportation assistance is available through OALA to students with permanent mobility impairments or conditions that would be considered a disability under the ADA. The accommodations provided are based upon the student’s individual needs. Accommodations can include classroom accommodations, parking considerations, and use of the Baylor Disability Shuttle. The Disability Shuttle is not required by law but offered as an additional service to Baylor's central campus. The shuttle will operate tentatively in the Spring- Monday through Friday 7:40 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and supports as many as 10,000 scheduled transports each year.
