Getting Started
Once you have been admitted to the University of Pittsburgh, follow these steps to register with Disability Resources and Services:
- Submit documentation of your disability.
You may deliver it in person to 140 William Pitt Union, fax it (412-624-3346)
or mail it to the DRS Office at:
Disability Resources and Services
140 William Pitt Union
University of Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh, PA 15260
Note: If you submitted disability documentation as part of your application for admission to the University of Pittsburgh, please check to make sure Disability Resources and Services has received a copy for your file.
- Set up an appointment with the appropriate disability specialist for
an initial review of documentation. At this meeting, you will be able
to discuss your documentation, needs and educational goals. The disability specialist will then forward your documentation for review by the Documentation Review Board. Based upon the Documentation Review Board's interpretation of the documentation, the disability specialist will consult with you regarding appropriate academic adjustments.
- Meet regularly with the disability specialist to review the effectiveness of services received, to update information or to discuss changes in service.
