Disability Access Center (DAC)

The Disability Access Center website provides an overview of the process the DAC follows when assessing a student’s request for disability-related accommodations.

Under Sec. 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act as amended, to receive accommodations it is the student’s responsibility to identify themself to the DAC as having a disability and make an accommodation request. This is a change from public K-12 schools, which are responsible for identifying students with disabilities.

Please note that it can take 2-4 weeks for Step 1 through 5 to be completed, so you are encouraged to fill out a New Student Application and schedule their Access Planning Meeting as soon as possible to avoid delays in access. For more information, visit Disability Access Center.

Disability Outreach Center (DOC) 

The Disability Outreach Center (DOC) is a disability cultural center and resource centering the needs and experiences of disabled students and community allies. The DOC connects students with community resources, raises awareness, and advocates for disabled students’ human and civil rights. For more information, visit Disability Outreach Center.
