Welcome to Disability Resources & Services

The staff and students of our office envision an educational environment that is inclusive and embodies the equality of opportunity. We are dedicated to the full participation of students with disabilities in the university environment. As such, we work with students, faculty and staff to coordinate accommodations, refer to on-campus and off-campus resources, assist with advocacy, and address any attitudinal and/or architectural barriers that might impede participation in curricular and/or co-curricular activities.

Our accommodation management system, ACCOMMODATE by Symplicity, serves as the central hub for coordinating and implementing accommodations.  

Students can access all directions to Accommodate-related processes by scrolling down the page and selecting ‘CU Denver Accommodate System’. 

Faculty can access all directions to Accommodate-related processes by scrolling down the page and selecting ‘CU Denver Accommodate System’. Once on this page, select the box labeled ‘FACULTY’ and this will take you to the Accommodate Portal.

Once in the portal, the left side menu includes a ‘Resource’ section.  Please review both written instructions and video demonstrations regarding faculty-related procedures, e.g., accessing an accommodation memorandum, testing accommodations.

As a reminder, our team is available both virtually (via Zoom) and in-person (2116 Student Commons Bldg.) for student, faculty and staff appointments.
