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.
