Job description

Student Accessibility Services: Student Accessibility Services (SAS) works with 4,000+ students with disabilities every year to facilitate equal access and reasonable accommodations. SAS works closely with faculty, Housing, and other departments to ensure disabled students experience equal opportunity to the campus experience. SAS also explores ways in which the UCF experience can be proactively designed with disability access and inclusion considered from the outset so as to minimize the need for reactive accommodations.

• Support Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) administrative responsibilities, such as, but not limited to, DHH agency invoice management and captioning coordination for videos that need to be captioned within courses.
• Support SAS in other areas, such as meeting with students to determine reasonable accommodations and consulting with faculty regarding general access and accommodation matters in the classroom.
• Support SAS accommodated testing leading up to and during final exams, SAS tabling events, last‑minute front desk coverage, and other initiatives that evolve over the course of the academic year.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's and 2+ years of relevant experience or Master’s degree and 0+ years of relevant experience; or an equivalent combination of education and experience pursuant to Fla. Stat. 112.219(6).

• Knowledge of assistive technology tools and accessible document remediation practices (e.g., PDF remediation, Braille transcription, captioning workflows).
• Experience coordinating accommodations or services for people with disabilities, especially individuals who are blind, have low vision, are Deaf, or are hard of hearing.
• Experience managing vendor relationships, invoice processing, and managing detailed projects.
• Strong relationship‑building skills with the ability to work effectively with faculty, students, and cross‑functional teams.
