The Disability Resource Center serves MSU students with disabilities. The DRC staff works to provide individualized accommodations and resources while promoting student responsibility and self-advocacy. It is the student’s responsibility to self-identify their need for academic accommodations and resources by completing the following steps:
- Submit an application and provide appropriate documentation of the disability to the DRC,
- Formally request accommodations during an accommodation meeting,
- Send Notification Letters to instructors through the Banner portal.
Students are strongly encouraged to discuss with each instructor the accommodations the DRC has approved for them to ensure there is a shared understanding of how the accommodations will be provided.
Once a students has been accepted to the University, the process of registering with the DRC can begin.
- An application for accommodations can be submitted through the student’s Banner account. Please review the application process at Applying for Accommodations. There is also a link on the DRC webpage listed as "Register with the DRC" that connects students to the application page.
- In order to provide appropriate documentation, "Suggested Documentation" guidelines can be found at https://www.drc.msstate.edu/students/apply-for-accommodations
- The DRC will send all correspondence via university email, so it important for students to check their email often.
