Disability Resource Center

The University's mission is to provide optimal educational opportunities for all students, including those with disabilities. The University recognizes that reasonable accommodations may be necessary for students with disabilities to have access to campus programs and facilities. In general, University policy calls for accommodations to be made on an individualized and flexible basis. 

Students are responsible for seeking assistance at the University and making their needs known. One of the first places to seek assistance is the Disability Resource Center (DRC). This office is part of the Office of Equity and Diversity and aims to promote access, which means ensuring the rights of students with disabilities (e.g. physical, learning, psychiatric, sensory or systemic) and assisting the University in meeting its obligations. The Disability Resource Center has an Academic Health Center Liaison. The DRC Academic Health Center Liaison provides direct assistance such as securing documentation of disability conditions, determining and implementing reasonable accommodations, referral, and consultation for enrolled and prospective students. The Academic Health Center Liaison also provides consultation and training for faculty and staff to ensure access to their programs, facilities and services. 

All services are confidential and free. For more information, or to arrange reasonable accommodations, contact the DRC Academic Health Center Liaison located in the McNamara Alumni Center, Suite180, 612-626-1333 (voice or TTY).
