Welcome to Disability Resources

Welcome to the Washington University Center for Advanced Learning Disability Resources (DR) in Cornerstone. DR is the official resource for students with disabilities and students with suspected disabilities at Washington University. DR assists students with disabilities by providing guidance and accommodations to ensure equal access to our campus, both physically and academically.

Some students come to college with a history of having received accommodations for a disability while others may not be diagnosed until after high school. Regardless, the University makes every effort to ensure that all students can take full advantage of the courses, programs, activities and opportunities that our University offers. 

Students seeking disability-related accommodations and guidance from the University must use this official resource and are encouraged to contact DR on enrollment or once diagnosed. In contrast to high school students, college and graduate students are expected to self-identify themselves and to make specific requests for accommodations by notifying Disability Resources. Eligibility for accommodations is determined on an individual basis, must be supported by professional documentation, and must be renewed each semester. DR will guide you through each step of this process, whether you are a prospective or current student, undergraduate or graduate.

As a current student, once you have registered for courses at Washington University, you are encouraged to discuss course requirements with your faculty and your academic advisor to develop strategies for success. You may also wish to tap the expertise and resources of the Center for Advanced Learning Disability Resources in Cornerstone to assist in this process. 

If you or your family are planning to visit Washington University and would like to stop by, it would be best to let us know you are coming in advance so that we can reserve a time for you.

Regardless of where you decide to pursue your higher education, do not hesitate to become familiar with the many resources that are available to you and to seek the support you need. The Center for Advanced Learning Disability Resources at Washington University looks forward to hearing from you, answering your questions and providing information that will enhance your experiences at Washington University and your academic success.
