What is Student Accessibility Services?

Student Accessibility Services (SAS) serves more than 600 CSB and SJU students with learning, sensory, physical, health or mental health conditions/disabilities.

Our team takes great pride in creating a welcoming space in which students can share additional information regarding the impact of their condition, the barriers encountered – or anticipate they may encounter, and the accommodations they believe will ensure equal access in their time at CSB and SJU. 

To get started, call 320-363-5245, during business hours (Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m.) to schedule a Welcome Meeting with a member of our team.

Dining Accommodations

The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University provide reasonable accommodations to students with documented disabilities and medical conditions. While all student residents are required to purchase a meal plan, CSB and SJU students with documented food-related conditions may require accommodations. Dining accommodation requests will be reviewed on an individualized, case-by-case basis. Please note:  Accommodations will not be considered for individuals who choose to avoid certain foods based on choice. 

In an effort to determine appropriate accommodation eligibility, Student Accessibility Services (SAS) must obtain comprehensive information regarding a student’s dietary needs.
