Welcome to the Disability Resource Center

Mission Statement

The Disability Resource Center (DRC), in collaboration with the campus community, promotes equal access and opportunity for individuals with disabilities in all aspects of university life by enhancing personal, academic, and career development. The DRC further seeks to empower students to fulfill their potential through self-knowledge, life-long learning, and growth. 

Vision Statement

The Disability Resource Center's dedication to the promotion of equal access and opportunity for students with disabilities will be realized by our collaboration and commitment to student success.

General Overview of the DRC 

The DRC has been designated as the campus authority to verify disabilities and to prescribe specific accommodations for students with documented disabilities. Individualized programs are designed that enable students to compete academically on an equal basis with their non-disabled peers. Academic accommodations and support services are available to students who have mobility, visual, or hearing impairments, chronic health conditions, and/or attention, learning or psychological disorders. Students with temporary disabilities (e.g., broken arm, sprained ankle) may also be served.

It is recommended that students, once admitted to the University, register with the DRC by scheduling an intake appointment to determine eligibility and services. Prospective Cal Poly Pomona students with disabilities must follow regular University Admissions procedures. If a student does not meet regular admission requirements due to a verified disability, the DRC is available for consultation.

In support of the University’s value on environmental sustainability, DRC strives to identify and advance sustainable practices in our operations and encourages other departments to do so as well.
