Purdue University is committed to making education, employment, services, programs and activities accessible. Purdue University offers numerous resources to employees, students and visitors who may need additional assistance while attending, visiting and/or working for the University. The Purdue Community works together to remove any barriers that prevent equal opportunities to individuals who have disabilities.
Students can use a wide variety of assistive technologies to meet their information access and computing needs. These include stand-alone equipment, adaptive software, and adaptive hardware. A full list is available on the Innovative Learning Assistive Technology webpage.
The Purdue Disability Resource Center (DRC) serves disabled undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at Purdue’s West Lafayette campus and Purdue Polytechnic Institute Statewide Programs, whether part-time or full-time (including students taking online courses). The DRC strives to proactively identify and remove barriers to access, promote inclusion and minimize the need for individual accommodations. The DRC also determines whether students are eligible for reasonable accommodation and, if so, the nature of the reasonable accommodation. The DRC does not test for, diagnose, or treat disability but relies on third-party documentation when determining accommodations.
