To qualify for academic accommodations, a student must provide documentation of their disability and engage in an interactive process with DRC staff to identify and establish reasonable accommodations.
DRC staff are available throughout the summer and break periods.
UWSP at Marshfield or UWSP at Wausau Students: Although the DRC is physically located on the Stevens Point campus, DRC staff work closely with branch faculty and staff to implement accommodations. Please follow the steps to qualify for accommodations and contact us if you have questions.
