Commitment to Accesibility

Montclair State University is committed to assisting students with disabilities in receiving accommodations necessary to equalize access. Students who may need accommodations based on disability must self-disclose and initiate the request to the Disability Resource Center (Links to an external site.) (DRC). The student is responsible for providing the DRC with documentation of their disability that meets our guidelines (Links to an external site.) and it will be reviewed. 

To register for services provided by the DRC, students must complete an application and provide documentation using the AIM web portal (Links to an external site.). An intake meeting will take place with the student and a DRC counselor to determine reasonable accommodations. Please know that accommodations require time to implement and are not set in place until we meet with a student. 

For more information, please contact the Disability Resource Center by email: drc@montclair.edu or phone (973) 655-5431.
