Massachusetts requires our office to ask all students if they would like a Personal Evacuation Plan (PEP). A PEP is a plan for a person who needs assistance to evacuate a building or reach a place of safety in the event of an emergency.

Disability Services encourages students who need assistance to participate in a PEP and will assist in developing their own personal emergency actions. Students are also encouraged to share their plan with buddies (volunteers), supervisors, evacuation coordinators, instructors, and the security office. When developing a plan, the safety needs of persons with disabilities should be developed on a case-by-case basis because they vary with each individual and location.

Would you like us to be able to share your connection to Disability Services with your success team (i.e. academic and professional advisor, cohort advisor, etc.)?Required
This will give your advisor more information when helping you pick your classes and create your schedule.
