CSUN students with disabilities are encouraged to seek assistance and support from the Center on Disabilities and professors for aid necessary to ensure academic success. Across the nation, the average percentile of any university’s student body who have registered disabilities is about 4.7 percent, said Jodi Johnson of the Center on Disabilities. For CSUN, this means an estimated 1,645 students out of 35,000 have disabilities. “The biggest challenge to helping these students is their reluctance to identify as a disabled student because of the stigma,” Johnson said. “It’s usually the second semester when they come to us, after having academic problems in the first.”
