Student Accessibility Services (SAS)

Robert Morris University is committed to providing equal opportunity for all students with physical, learning, or psychological disabilities. RMU does not discriminate on the basis of disability in admission or access to its programs and activities. The Office of Student Accessibility Services connects qualified students with the necessary accommodations and resources so each student has access to their education, programs, and activities.

The Student Employment Program coordinates on-campus and off-campus work-study opportunities, as well as graduate assistantships. On average, over 400 students work on campus each year in a variety of offices and departments. Off campus, some opportunities exist for students to work with local non-profit organizations as part of the Student Employment Program.  On and off-campus work-study opportunities are posted in Talent Track.

Resources

Academic Success Resources

The CSS offers a variety of tips and resources related to study skills, time management and campus support services.

Navigate

Navigate is an essential tool the Center for Student Success utilizes to ensure academic success for all students. Navigate helps reduce the noise so you'll get connected to the right resources at the right time. Students; schedule with your success coach, keep note of important tasks, and view your schedule while having access to the resource that’s like your own advisor!

Faculty and staff, we recommend the use of Colonial Navigate to promote student success, persistence and retention. Navigate is a virtual advisor that gets students from orientation to graduation.

Please visit https://www.rmu.edu/why-rmu/attention/navigate to learn more about how you can use the Navigate tool to ensure academic success in your students!

Students, here are some reasons why you should use Navigate!

• Get step-by-step guidance
• Know when important things are coming up
• Find the right fit
• Learn how to get the most out of college
• Connect to support you need - faster

Students can submit alerts for themselves by Navigate’s “Hand Raise” feature. This allows students to raise their hand, or issue alerts on themselves, either via the Navigate app or on the Navigate webpage. A student can alert the CSS if they are struggling academically with a class, inquiring about tutoring, needing resources and information for accessibility accommodations, and many more!

Once a student raises their hand, they will receive outreach that provides the appropriate resources and support for their submitted reason. If appropriate, the case manager will connect the student with their Success Coach to triage a follow up and/or a general advising meeting for them to create a plan for academic success!
