DRES Abroad

Both the study abroad office and Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES) can serve as a resource if you are a student with either a visible or non-visible disability, and require accommodations while abroad.  DRES is a resources for students with diagnosed disabilities including and not limited to physical disabilities, learning differences, and mental/behavioral disorders. If you are not yet registered with DRES but have a disability it may be a good idea to get registered so that you have access to their support. 

• If you have a DRES accommodation, speak with your DRES advisor immediately and disclose to your study abroad advisor if you are comfortable, so that they can advocate for you to the host institution. 

• Review the DRES webpage on study abroad.
