Thank you for your interest in the Disability Resource Center! We exist to assist the UCSC campus with equal educational access for students with disabilities. Our goals are to support retention and graduation of students with disabilities, promote a non-discriminatory campus environment and encourage student development and independence.

The Disability Resource Center leads UC Santa Cruz in:

• its commitment to recognize disability as a valued aspect of diversity,

• ensuring equal and meaningful access to campus programs in collaboration with students, staff, and faculty, and

• promoting more welcoming and inclusively-designed environments.
