Abstract: The present study aimed to identify the degree of availability of services provided to students with disabilities at the Hashemite University. The study sample consisted of (68) students with disabilities at the university. To achieve the objectives of the study, it adopted the descriptive survey method where the researchers, developed a scale of the degree of availability of services provided to students with disabilities. The final version of the scale consisted of (92) items classified into nine domains. The researcher extracted the psychometric properties of the scale and found that it had appropriate validity and reliability coefficients. The results indicated that the arithmetic averages for the Hashemite University's total services ranged between medium and high, where services related to activities and events ranked first with the highest average, while social services and psychological support were ranked last. The results also indicated that there were no statistically significant differences due to the gender impact. The results also indicated statistically significant differences due to the impact of the type of disability on the degree of availability of services provided to students with both physical, and audio disabilities. This difference was equally seen in several other services such as academic services, social services and psychological support services and medical, financial and economic services as well. The study came up with a set of recommendations.
