LSUS is committed to making students with disabilities full participants in its programs, services, and activities through its compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. The Student Development & Counseling Center (SDCC) assists both students with disabilities and the University in accomplishing this goal. The primary objective of services is to ensure accessibility of the University's programs and services so that students with disabilities persist toward their academic goals. SDCC provides intake, assessment of needs on campus, verification of accommodation needs, and makes recommendations regarding accommodations. SDCC advocates for all students and works as a liaison between students and faculty, as well as with community agencies. SDCC informs the administration of policies and issues relevant to students with disabilities. SDCC also provides training for faculty and staff so the LSUS community gains a greater understanding of their responsibilities and the needs of students with disabilities.

Student Development and Counseling Center is a department within the Division of Student Affairs. The office is located in the Administration Building, Room 230; (318) 797-5365
