Student Disability Resources (SDR) is Penn State’s designated office for ensuring the university’s legal compliance with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504). Qualified Penn State students with disabilities are covered by the ADAAA and Section 504, which entitles them to non-discrimination, reasonable academic accommodations, auxiliary aids and services for effective communication, and accessible facilities.
SDR is responsible for coordinating support services, reasonable academic accommodations, and promoting disability awareness in the university community. At Penn State, we are committed to providing a welcoming, encouraging, and empowering environment for students with disabilities to ensure equal access, full participation, and reasonable accommodations for their academic pursuits.
