      What does the Center for Disability Resources (CDR) do?
      The Center for Disability Resources facilitates equal access for students with disabilities by coordinating accommodations and support services. The CDR works with graduate and undergraduate students with various types of disabilities including learning, physical, hearing, visual, psychological, and chronic medical conditions.

      How do I register with the CDR?
      Registration includes submission of both the Application for Accommodations and Services and disability documentation (see general guidelines and specific guidelines). There are separate application forms for undergraduate and graduate students. (See Undergraduate Application for Accommodations & Services and Graduate Application for Accommodations & Services.) After review of a student's application and relevant documentation, the CDR will coordinate services and accommodations based on eligibility. The student will receive a letter indicating specific accommodations they are eligible to receive. In addition, an appointment will be set up for an orientation session. The CDR works with students with various types of disabilities including learning, physical, hearing, visual, psychological, and chronic medical conditions.
