Welcome

The DRO works to remove unnecessary institutional barriers to ensure an equal opportunity to participate in the North Carolina State University experience for students with disabilities.

North Campus Construction Summer 2026 Updates

NC State has concurrent projects on the north side of campus impacting several buildings and pedestrian pathways between Yarbrough Drive and Hillsborough Street. The ongoing construction in and around the Brickyard will shift select pedestrian and vehicular routes over the summer as the work continues. For the latest updates on construction zones and accessible pathways, please visit the Overall Construction Logistics website. There, you can view a detailed logistics map highlighting all available routes.

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.
