All students admitted to Loyola Marymount University must meet the required academic standards for admission. Students with disabilities desiring to enroll in any particular school, program, service, or activity must be able to meet the minimal standards of both the University and the particular school, program, service or activity to which admission is sought.
A prospective student with a disability is not required to disclose their disability, nor may university personnel inquire about it during the admission process. However, if the prospective student discloses a disability, discussion may take place, although such information cannot adversely affect admission.
Once admitted to the university, a student may choose whether or not to disclose a disability with DSS. A student with a disability will not receive accommodations unless they apply for accommodations and follow the University's procedures for obtaining those services.
For more information on how to apply to the university, please contact Undergraduate Admission, Graduate Programs, or LMU Extension.
Pre-Admission Counseling
The DSS Office will respond to all email and telephone inquiries about our office, possible accommodations, and our application process. Prospective students are encouraged to visit the University and to apply for accommodations with the DSS Office prior to the start of their first semester. If a prospective student would like to meet with DSS staff, either in person or virtually over Zoom, they will need to contact our office in advance to schedule an appointment. If a family member requests a meeting, the student must be present as well.
