Disability Resource Center
Procedures for Obtaining Services
Manual Introduction
The following Disability Resource Center procedures have been compiled to assist students in receiving academic accommodations and support services appropriate for their disability. Students wishing to receive academic accommodations must fill out appropriate paperwork to register with the DRC and provide documentation of their disability (see Procedure for Receiving Academic Accommodations for details).
The procedures in the Procedure Manual are directed towards receiving specific academic accommodations and support services. Hopefully, these written procedures will serve to clarify the steps necessary to obtain accommodations from the Disability Resource Center. Students should follow all time deadlines and procedures necessary to receive specific academic accommodations as established by the DRC. Noncompliance on the part of the student with the procedures stated herein may result in delays in or denial of the provision of accommodations.
The procedures in the Procedure Manual are not all inclusive and are subject to change. Students unsure of the appropriate procedure to follow and/or with a situation not covered by the procedures listed in this manual should contact their Disability Coordinator as soon as possible for clarification and guidance as to the appropriate procedure for their situation.
Should you encounter any difficulty or other concern regarding your academic accommodations, contact your Disability Coordinator immediately.
