Assessment Screening and Referral 

Initial Intake/Referral

Students with disabilities are encouraged to register with the DRC to facilitate their use of accommodations and support services available through our office.  Although students are not required to register with the DRC just because they have a disability, students must register with our office if they plan to use testing accommodations, alternate media, and other services in support of their disability while at Cal Poly Pomona.  Depending on the nature of the documented disability, these services may include note-takers, alternate media services for reading, extended time for exams, use of distraction-free environment for testing, interpreting and real-time captioning services, and access to the technology lab.  

For Students with a Prior History of Disability and/or Disability Documentation 

If disability documentation is found to sufficiently establish a disability and provide adequate information on the functional impact of the disability so that effective accommodations can be identified, students are then able to complete their registration with the DRC and become eligible to receive academic accommodations and support services. 

For Students with no Prior History of Disability and/or no Disability Documentation 

Students who suspect that they may have a disability that interferes with their learning may receive referrals to appropriate and qualified professionals in the community who provide a sliding-fee scale for Cal Poly Pomona students.  Students may also be referred to their own health insurance plan, if available.  For a referral to a qualified professional, please contact DRC at 909.869.3333.

If consultation is desired prior to selecting a qualified professional on the referral list, please contact Counseling & Psychological Services at 909.869.3220 for a screening appointment.

If students are receiving financial aid, DRC will coordinate with the Financial Aid Office to verify the need for supplemental funding to cover the costs of diagnostic/disability evaluation.

Once disability documentation is obtained, follow the DRC registration process.
