Welcome to the Disability Resource Center (DRC) at Florida International University! If you're a student, our goal is simple: to promote your success.

"Welcome to the Disability Resource Center (DRC) at Florida International University. Our aim is to guide and support students with disabilities throughout their college experience from pre-admission through graduation. As your partners in success, we are committed to you. Serving as the one-stop-shop for your disability service needs, the DRC provides the resources to facilitate a smooth transition to university life. By providing one-on-one consultation throughout your academic journey our DRC staff is a specialized resource for you. The DRC Facebook is just one of the many resources available so that students with disabilities can access all that FIU has to offer throughout our diverse academic community."

Welcome to Myth Monday! ✨

We’re kicking off a new series where we’ll debunk common myths about disability accommodations and share the facts you need to know.

If you think registering with the DRC puts a label on your permanent academic transcript, think again. Disability records are confidential and kept separate from your academic record. Any documentation you provide is used solely to determine your eligibility for services and identify the accommodations that best support your academic success. Your disability information is kept confidential, and your degree is no different from your peers’.

Don’t let myths keep you from getting the support you need. Contact us to schedule your one-on-one consultation!
