Welcome to the Accessibility and Disability Center (ADC), the designated department on the campus of Utah Tech University responsible for evaluating disability documentation, determining eligibility, and implementing reasonable accommodations for students who have disabilities that may affect their academic success.
The Accessibility and Disability Center serves students with disabilities by providing equal access to UT academic programs, non-academic activities, and campus facilities to facilitate and promote student participation, success, retention and graduation.
We believe that students with disabilities at UT are as much in control of their educational experience as students without.
“Whether you think you can or think you can’t you are right”—Henry Ford

Once accommodations have been approved, it is the student’s responsibility to call or email the Accessibility and Disability Center to renew their accommodations.
To receive the same accommodations as your previous semester, send a request to drc@utahtech.edu. Please include:
The ADC will send your Faculty Accommodation Notification forms to your university email. Printed copies are available for pick up by request. We will make sure that the notification forms are sent to your professors. Accommodations take effect when a professor receives the notification form.
If you are requesting additional accommodations and have the documentation to support this request, contact us at 435-652-7516 to schedule an appointment to discuss options.
No, but if you want the school to provide accommodations, you must identify yourself as having a disability and register with the Accessibility and Disability Center (ADC). In any event, your disclosure of a disability is always voluntary.
Although you need not disclose a disability during the admission process, it is advisable to notify the ADC as soon as possible after applying and being accepted. This will help the ADC assist in many areas of student orientation such as campus navigation, testing, student support programs, etc.
Accommodations are determined case-by-case based on the documentation and the nature of the disability. In all cases, accommodations will not be given if they alter the essential elements of a course.
No, you must inform the school that you have a disability and will need accommodations. Unlike your high school, postsecondary schools are not required to identify and assess your disability. In addition, you are required to provide documentation of your disability.
Although 504 and IEPs clarify the history of the disability or disorder, they may not be adequate to implement accommodations in a college environment. At the post-secondary level, supporting documentation through an evaluation done within the past 3 years or using adult norms is required.
Once registered with the ADC, accommodation notices will be sent to your professors via email.
No, accommodations must be reviewed by and coordinated through the ADC.
Make an appointment at the ADC to discuss options. You may be required to provide additional documentation.
