Access is a civil right. Programs at the University of Montana must be readily accessible to and usable by people with disabilities. The University provides reasonable accommodations to ensure program access. All accommodation requests will be given due process and consideration. Students can file a grievance when they have been denied or have limited participation in the benefits of any program based solely on a disability.

Students are encouraged to discuss their concerns with the access consultant assigned to them or with the director of the Office for Disability Equity. If the grievance is not resolved informally or a student wishes to pursue a formal complaint or grievance, the following options are available:    

• Report barriers by using the online barrier report. This method does not constitute a formal complaint or grievance. The University will attempt to follow up in a timely manner as the information provided permits. 
• File a complaint by contacting the Office of Equal Opportunity and Title IX.
• File a complaint with external entities that include:

Montana Human Rights Bureau

U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights

U.S. Department of Justice
