A student participating in the Disability Instructional Support Center (DISC) will complete the Student Learning Outcomes established by the department.
By using DISC, I will

  • articulate the nature of my disability
  • describe how my disability impacts my learning
  • practice self-advocacy in acquiring reasonable accommodations to mitigate the effects of my disability, and
  • discuss my strengths and weaknesses within a particular course.
  • To receive continued support from DISC, check out DISC: Am I On Course?
