The Disability Resource Centre (DRC) works with UBC's Okanagan campus community to eliminate structural and attitudinal barriers to those with disabilities. The DRC provides disability-related services and academic accommodations to students, staff and faculty with documented disabilities. Services provided to students are in keeping with the University’s Academic Policy for Students with Disabilities (Policy 73). The purpose of an accommodation is to allow students to overcome disability-related challenges that impede their academic success. The DRC assists students by offering programs and advocacy services to foster an accessible and welcoming campus.
