The mission of the Disability Resource Center (DRC) in Athens is to create an accessible academic, social, and physical environment for students with disabilities at the University of Georgia. We seek to eliminate attitudinal barriers that exist on campus and to serves as an advocate for students with disabilities. The DRC also encourages students to develop independence and responsibility as they participate in University life.
The DRC provides services to students who have either a physical, cognitive, or psychological impairment (i.e., chronic illness, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, learning disability, hearing impairment, visual impairment, mobility impairment, psychological impairment, traumatic brain injury),which substantially limits one or more major life activities. These academic and support services promote equal access to University programs and activities. The DRC also provides state-of-the-art assistive computer equipment and devices designed to level the playing field for people with disabilities.
To qualify for services, students need to complete the on-line intake packet and provide current documentation supporting their disability from a qualified health professional.
