The Office of Accessibility Services

Mission

The mission of the Office of Accessibility Services is to provide academic support services and accommodations for all students enrolled at McNeese State University who have documented disabilities as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). 

A major responsibility of the department is to offer services such as monitored testing, interpreters, and note-takers for students with disabilities that qualify for these academic adjustments.

The Office of Accessibility Services

Registration for accommodations does not typically open until two weeks prior to the beginning of the semester.

Steps to Schedule Proctoring Services for Accessibility:

  • Ensure Registration: Make sure you are registered with the Office of Accessibility Services before scheduling.
  • Find Proctoring Services: Click the “Proctoring Services” button to access the online scheduler.
  • Complete the scheduling form. Important: Indicate that the service is for accessibility services to ensure the proctoring fee is waived.
  • Plan Ahead: Schedule at least 3 days in advance—the system won’t allow you to confirm a date otherwise.
  • Follow Testing Center Rules: Only authorized materials are allowed in the testing center.

Ashley Bass

I am a McNeese graduate with a bachelor's degree in Family and Consumer Science and a concentration in Child and Family Studies. As a student, I competed on the rodeo team and served on the SGA board. I earned my master’s degree in 2022 from the University of South Dakota in Educational Administration and Leadership with a concentration in Adult and Higher Ed. I have over 13 years of experience in adult education and 20 years of educational experience.

My favorite part of being a Freshman Advisor is helping students navigate their new life routine as a college freshman by offering support with in-person office visits or by email to help students meet their goals. I always remind students of my favorite BB King quote – “Education is one thing no one can ever take away from you.”  I believe that supporting students is vital to a student's success.

In my spare time, I raise registered American Brahman cattle, and I enjoy all the "country girl" things like hunting, fishing, growing a garden and cooking.
