Disability Specialist
Eligible students will be assigned a Disability Specialist.
DRD students are encouraged to meet with their Disability Specialist at least three times per semester for specialized advising and disability management:
- At the beginning of the semester to request and set up your accommodations,
- Mid-semester to discuss your progress, and
- At the end of the semester to discuss how the semester went and to plan your next semester.
Your Disability Specialist may help with items such as:

Of course, any time you have questions or concerns, you may meet with your Disability Specialist as needed.
