Director's Welcome
Welcome to California State University, Chico. I hope that you find Chico State to be inclusive, responsive, and innovative. This campus has a tremendous commitment to all students and their educational goals. Chico State recognizes that higher education is changing! One important change is the growing diversity of students, and that disability is part of that diversity. Students with disabilities are estimated to represent nine percent of all incoming college freshman; one out of 11 students has a documented disability.
