Faculty & Staff

The DRC is proud to have faculty and staff that understand, accommodate, and advocate for students with disabilities.

DRC Syllabus Statement

USU Faculty members are encouraged to include a statement to inform students of the availability of reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities. This statement makes it clear that students must document their disabilities with the Disability Resource Center (DRC) before they are eligible for any adjustments. This relieves faculty of the responsibility of obtaining documentation, determining if the request is appropriate, and storing medical information in accordance with Federal regulations. This notification process offers protection for faculty members and the University in the event that a student claims that their right to accommodation has been denied.

The following statement is suggested:

Students with physical, sensory, emotional or medical impairments may be eligible for reasonable accommodations in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. All accommodations are coordinated through the Disability Resource Center (DRC) in Room 101 of the University Inn, 797-2444 voice, 797-0740 TTY, or toll free at 1-800-259-2966. Please contact the DRC as early in the semester as possible. Alternate format materials (Braille, large print or digital) are available with advance notice.
