Disability Resource Center

Policy

To facilitate the availability of reasonable and appropriate accommodations beginning on the first day of class, the Disability Resource Center (DRC) professional staff will recommend eligible students to the University Registrar’s Office for priority enrollment appointments. Eligibility is limited to specified DRC students whose accommodations require extended preparation and production time to complete or whose documentation supports the need for specific class scheduling.

Note:

A priority enrollment appointment does not apply when students have outstanding university charges (e.g., tuition, fees, parking tickets, library fines), including third-party payers such as Vocational Rehabilitation Services.

See the DRC Web site for detailed information and procedures for accessing the services and accommodations available for qualified students at specific ASU campuses and sites.
