Disability Services at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)

HBCUs can be a place that will welcome you as both a Black person and a person with a disability - you can explore both of these parts of your identity, while also getting disability accommodations like notetakers or extra time on tests.   Read about Britney Wilson's experiences at an HBCU, as well as more about her graduation and how she chose Howard University.

This video shares stories of three students at the University of the District of Columbia, talking about their experiences getting services as disabled students.

For general information about all HBCUs and links to their main campus websites, check out Wikipedia's list of HBCUs.

To find disability contact information for any HBCU or minority-serving institution in the U.S., go to the Campus Disability Resources (CeDaR) Database run by the National Center for College Students with Disabilities (NCCSD) at http://www.CEDARdatabase.org.  You can do an advanced search and limit responses to only HBCUs, or look up a specific college or university.
