About the Disability Resource Center
The DRC helps UWRF students with both academic and housing accommodations. We support over 200 different accommodations and work with about 14% of the student body. Whether you have a psychological, learning, mobility or chronic physical disability, we’re here to help! Most of the students we work with have psychological disabilities—things like anxiety or personality disorders, just to name a few. While many students who connect with us didn’t have any accommodations before coming to UWRF, if you had an IEP, 504 plan or any kind of support in high school or at another college, we definitely encourage you to reach out!
