Disability Related Resources / Accommodations
The Division of Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES) is the University designated office that certifies eligibility for services, determines reasonable accommodations, obtains and files disability-related documents, and develops plans for providing these accommodations for students with disabilities.
Students with disabilities must contact DRES to request and obtain disability-related assistance. Students anticipating the need for disability-related assistance are asked to contact DRES at least six weeks prior to the first day of classes in order to allow adequate time to make the necessary accommodation arrangements. A site visit a full semester in advance is strongly recommended. For more information, contact the DRES Office at 217.333.4604 (V/TTY) or via e-mail at disability@uiuc.edu.
If you or a family member will require disability related assistance at Summer Registration, please indicate this when you select a Summer Registration Program online.
