At Maryville University, we believe that access, belonging, and student success go hand in hand. We are seeking a compassionate, collaborative, and student-centered Coordinator for Disability Support to join our Student Affairs team and help ensure that every student has equitable access to the resources, accommodations, and support they need to thrive.

This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about accessibility, disability inclusion, student advocacy, and building meaningful relationships across campus. As a key member of the Office for Disability Support, you will partner with students, faculty, and campus leaders to coordinate accommodations, remove barriers, and foster a culture where all learners can succeed.

You'll conduct intake meetings, review documentation, facilitate accommodations, and provide ongoing support that empowers students to advocate for themselves and achieve their goals.

Work closely with faculty, Student Success Life Coaches, Academic Affairs, Student Health & Counseling Services, Residential Life, and other campus partners to ensure accommodations are implemented effectively and students receive coordinated, holistic support. You'll serve as a trusted resource for accessibility-related questions and guidance.

Help create a more inclusive campus by developing educational programs, workshops, and outreach initiatives focused on disability awareness, accessibility, neurodiversity, universal design, and student success. Your work will help foster understanding, belonging, and equitable access throughout the university community.

Coordinate accommodated testing processes, support assistive technology and accessibility resources, maintain accurate case documentation, and contribute to process improvements that enhance the student experience. You'll help ensure services are delivered consistently, efficiently, and in alignment with legal and institutional standards.
