Welcome

The DRO advocates for an equitable and inclusive student experience by eliminating unnecessary institutional barriers to ensure an equal opportunity to participate in the North Carolina State University experience for students with disabilities.

Due to preparations for New Student Orientation and other summer programming, the DRO will be closed to unscheduled walk-in visitors between 1-5pm Friday May 30.

Equal Access Matters

Students with disabilities make up an important cross-section of NC State. Approximately 1 out of 5 undergraduate students and 1 out of 8 grad students have a disability (source).

It allows students to learn and be evaluated fairly, based on their merits (not based on their disability-related barriers).

It creates pathways for students with disabilities to achieve their full potential, leading to higher retention, graduation, and employment rates.

NC State has designated the Disability Resource Office (DRO) to determine appropriate accommodations (appropriate academic adjustments, auxiliary aids and modifications to policies/procedures) for students on the basis of disability.
