Disability Resources & Services (DRS), located within the Office of Institutional Engagement & Wellbeing, is the designated department by the University of Pittsburgh to determine reasonable accommodations and services, under the provisions set forth in the Americans with Disabilities Act. At the University of Pittsburgh, we are committed to promoting equal access to students, faculty, and staff with disabilities. Disability is an important aspect of our community.
Individuals with disabilities are integrated as completely into the University environment as possible. Within the interactive process, we work with everyone who applies for accommodations to provide access to University classes, programs, activities, and employment. Our office is available as a resource; please contact us to discuss your individual needs.
Did you know? To establish disability and request accommodations, students must self-disclose their disability with Disability Resources & Services (DRS). Students, not parents, are responsible for initiating contact and maintaining eligibility for DRS services. Learn more about how to get started with DRS at Pitt.
