About the Disability Resource Center  

The Disability Resource Center (DRC) ensures equal access and promotes an inclusive environment at Texas A&M University-Kingsville that is free of physical and attitudinal barriers to ensure students with disabilities engage in a full range of college experiences. The DRC strives to be responsive to student needs by facilitating reasonable accommodations that aid in the student's academic success as well as empower students to be self-advocates. 

It is the responsibility of the student to provide the documentation which verifies that the student's condition meets the definition of a disability as defined by applicable laws (i.e., Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008). Federal Law requires that requests for services for student with disabilities be considered on an individual, case-by-case basis. 

The Disability Resource Center (DRC) offers the following services for students with disabilities:  accommodations counseling, evaluation referral options, disability related information, adaptive technology, advocacy for students rights, and intervention services with faculty members. The DRC does not diagnose or conduct disability testing; however, students may contact the DRC office for a referral list of qualified professionals in the surrounding area.   Additionally, the DRC does not provide services such as tutoring, personal equipment, personal attendants, or scholarships.
