Welcome to the Disability Resource Center!
The mission of the Disability Resource Center is to assist in creating an accessible university community where students with disabilities have an equal opportunity to fully participate in all aspects of the educational environment. We cooperate through partnerships with students, faculty, and staff to cultivate student learning and success.
Currently enrolled students, or students who have been accepted and plan to attend Cal Poly, may visit How to Become a DRC Student for information about the application steps. To ensure the timeliness of services, it is important to begin the process as soon as possible. Implementation of services may be delayed for students waiting until arrival on campus to begin the intake process.
Upcoming Events:
DRC encourages incoming students with disabilities to attend SOAR to obtain academic advice and valuable information about scheduling classes. To ensure that services are in place when Fall quarter begins, eligible students may want to schedule their intake appointment while they are on campus for the July SOAR program.
