Accommodations for a disability

OTP partners with the Disability Resource Center to provide accommodations for New Student Orientation participants with apparent and non-apparent disabilities.

Please request orientation accommodations with OTP with as much advance notice as possible so we can best prepare for your arrival. Requests made within 10 days before your session may not be guaranteed.

Dietary needs

Missouri State Dining Services provides New Student Orientation participants with meals that meet their dietary needs, including allergen-free meals. Contact Dining Services to inform them of your needs and scheduled session date.
