Welcome
Our Philosophy
Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES) is guided by the belief that each individual has strengths, abilities and talents. We believe that students who understand their strengths can use that knowledge to learn, grow and achieve. We recognize that students entering the University from high schools or community colleges have different needs than students who have already been in college, or from those who are entering their senior year and beginning to plan for life after graduation. To learn more, please read about our Journey to Success plan.
Announcements

Beginning summer 2012, DRES will transition from a paper-based System to an on-line system for requesting and managing accommodations and services. SAAS allows students registered with DRES to request and manage accommodations, support services, and alternative testing exam scheduling.
