Through DRS, Western provides admitted or prospective students with disAbilities an equal opportunity to access all aspects of University life. DRS is committed to providing services and programs that foster student development at all levels, intellectual, emotional, physical, and social. Full participation in all aspects of University life is not only necessary to achieve this holistic development, but it is encouraged and supported by the DRS team. Our goal is to provide a program that:

Includes students as team members in the accommodation process.
Assists students with the transition to independence and self advocacy.
Maintains privacy and confidentiality.
Supports the academic endeavors chosen by the student.
Focuses on the holistic development of the student.

The DRS website is intended to inform, provide resources, and improve the efficiency of delivering services and accommodations. If you are currently receiving services from DRS, we encourage you to bookmark this page and refer to it throughout your enrollment.

HOW TO GET ASSISTANCE

Students with academic accommodation needs must initiate a request for services through disAbility Resources for Students (DRS). Students with disAbilities are required, by law, to provide written documentation of their disAbility (from a qualified professional) before services can be provided.
