Disability-Related Complaints
CSUMB, in collaboration with Student Disability and Accessibility Center (SDAC), strives to create a campus that is inclusive and accessible to all eligible students. We take seriously concerns brought to our attention.
If you feel that your approved accommodations are not being met by an academic department, housing, or you encounter an accessibility issue on campus, please contact sdac@csumb.edu, (831) 582-372. We will respond usually within three business day to discuss your concern. Additional support is located below.
Students, student assistants and employees who believe they have been a victim of unlawful discrimination may contact the Title IX/Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation office.

Employees, students and visitors, may report building access issues directly to Facilities, Services, and Operations by submitting a Work Request.
This includes concerns about doors which are difficult to open or navigate. A work request to Facilities may result in an adjustment to the door tension, or replacement of a fire door with a door that has adjustable tension.
Students may also inform Student Disability and Accessibility Center at sdac@csumb.edu, who may arrange programmatic access until the door is adjusted.
Not all requests to SDAC may be approved if the request is not reasonable or causes a fundamental alteration to the learning outcomes of the course. When issuing an Unable to Accommodate decision, SDAC will clearly state the reasons and will provide the student with further actions for reconsideration.
In the event that an accommodation is not authorized by SDAC and students wish to confirm ineligibility of the accommodation, please contact SDAC at (831) 582-3672, sdac@csumb.edu.
Students should be prepared to review details of the timely and required documentation with the SDAC Advisor or Director.
Any final determination regarding denial of accommodation remains with SDAC. If students believe that their disability-related needs are not being met due to unlawful discrimination, they may contact Title IX.
If you are not satisfied with the resolution made by the campus, or wish to explore an external agency, there are additional options for filing a complaint.
The California State University does not discriminate on the basis of disability in its programs and activities, including admission and access. Federal and state laws, including sections 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, prohibit such discrimination.
