Accommodations

At Criswell College, we believe in the inherent dignity and worth of every student, as each person is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). Rooted in this truth, we are committed to providing equal access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities. We seek to cultivate a Christ-centered learning environment that upholds academic excellence, compassion, and integrity. Our accommodations process is designed to support students in a way that empowers them to thrive both academically and spiritually while maintaining the rigor and standards of a Criswell education.

We encourage students who may need academic accommodations to begin the process as early as possible so that we can provide the support needed to help them succeed.
