Reporting Barriers

Southwest Minnesota State University is dedicated to the principles of equal access in education and works directly with those who are encountering barriers in the design of physical, curricular and social environments. In the event you encounter a physical barrier on the SMSU campus, such as an inoperative elevator, bicycles or cars blocking an access ramp, drifting snow or overhanging tree branches, we would appreciate your assistance with reporting this so the University can maintain access by removing barriers as quickly as possible.  To report an urgent need or safety concern:
