Welcome to Penn State!
The staff in the Student Disability Resources office look forward to working with you and helping students who want to:
- Explore individualized reasonable accommodations for equal access and full participation in academic pursuits;
- Seek interactions with peers or study space;
- Connect with on- and off-campus resources; and
- Promote disability as an important aspect of diversity.
Currently, students can choose either in-person or virtual appointments with our office staff. Please call us at 814-863-1807 to schedule an appointment as needed or email upsdr@psu.edu with any questions. A few reasons students may choose to schedule an appointment include:
- Using Student Disability Resources for the first time;
- Resolving any questions related to your academic accommodations;
- Requesting new accommodations specific to your individual course or program needs; or
- Seeking assistance navigating an academic problem or connecting to other campuses resources.
Again, we look forward to serving our students and partnering with faculty and instructors this upcoming academic year!
