Registration and Services
Illinois Institute of Technology is deeply committed to the full participation of students with disabilities in all aspects of the university's academic and co-curricular life. The Center for Disability Resources (CDR) supports such participation by coordinating the provision of key reasonable accommodations and support services for students with disabilities.
Registration
Undergraduate and graduate students seeking reasonable accommodations or support services from the CDR are required to register with the office. This does not occur automatically upon enrollment at Illinois Institute of Technology. Services from high school or from previous colleges do not necessarily "follow the student" to IIT.
CDR Liaisons
Illinois Institute of Technology considers its faculty and academic program staff to be important partners in the university's efforts to reasonably accommodate students with disabilities. With this in mind, IIT has established a network of disability services liaisons to facilitate equal access to all university programs for students with disabilities. These liaisons are representatives from students' respective colleges who assist CDR in coordinating the provision of reasonable accommodations. These individuals help to determine the most appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities and serve as an important link between CDR and IIT's colleges. The CDR will contact college liaisons when / if necessary to accommodate student needs.
Services
Please note that there are policies and procedures for the provision of specific accommodations, including housing, note-taking services, testing accommodations, sign-language interpreting services, and speech-to-text services.
