Disability Resource Center (DRC)
The Disability Resource Center (DRC) is committed to promoting the full participation of students with disabilities in all aspects of university life. The DRC’s team of professionals provides a wide range of services and accommodations to help ensure that students with disabilities have equal access to education and all aspects of campus life – whether they need accommodations for exams, assistance with note-taking, or access to assistive technology.
DRC staff also work closely with faculty and staff to create an inclusive and accessible campus environment, providing training and consultation on disability-related issues, and working with departments to ensure that all aspects of campus life are accessible to everyone.
Students are encouraged to contact the DRC to learn more about their services and resources. Visit the Disability Resource Center.
