The Learning Access Program (LAP) is Stockton University's disability support services office.

Our role is to educate, advocate and facilitate equal access while maintaining a welcoming, inclusive and accessible campus community. LAP engages in an interactive process with each student to determine appropriate accommodations on an individualized case-by-case, class-by-class basis.

The Learning Access Program reviews students' documentation and collaborates with students, faculty and staff to arrange reasonable accommodations that support students' individual needs.
