The Division of Undergraduate Education and Student Success (UESS) promotes academic excellence, universal access, engagement and achievement for the student scholar by providing essential services that support student success and engagement across the entire undergraduate population at the University of Oregon.

Access Advisors work as part of a team dedicated to facilitating access and full inclusion of students with disabilities into the university environment. This is accomplished through proactive advising, effective collaborations with faculty and staff, and the fostering of systemic campus change. Access Advisors report directly to the Accessible Education Center’s Assistant Director and serve as accessibility specialists and case managers, working with a high volume of students who may present with complicated mental health or chronic health situations, learning disabilities, ADHD, head injury, etc.

They collaborate with instructors and other campus entities to ensure reasonable accommodations are provided and universal design solutions are considered. Access Advisors may give presentations to students, parents, and university employees, and will coordinate and participate in AEC projects. They work in a fast‑paced office setting delivering advising support and accommodation guidance year‑round, supporting the university’s emphasis on academic excellence in a culturally diverse and challenging learning environment.
