Students enrolled in post-secondary education are required to self-identify if they would like to request services on the basis of disability. The University of Oklahoma attempts to provide every opportunity for a student with a disability to self-identify. The first opportunity is at time of application. A statement on the University admissions application refers students to the Disability Resource Center to request information on services. After admission, students are provided the opportunity to request contact by DRC by responding to disability-related questions on the New Student Survey during the enrollment process. Subsequently, faculty members are encouraged to provide students the opportunity to self-identify by including a statement regarding accommodations for students with disabilities on their syllabus or verbally at the first class meeting. Prospective students and current students are always encouraged to contact DRC directly, as soon as possible, to request services or accommodations.
