Eligibility for ATC Services

Most of the services available through the Assistive Technology Center can only be provided to students, faculty, or staff who are eligible because of disability status. The ATC does not determine eligibility - those decisions are made by the Disability Resource Center, the Affirmative Action Office, or Human Resource Services.

For students, eligibility is determined by the Disability Resource Center (http://www.purdue.edu/odos/drc). Students should contact the DRC by calling (765) 494-1247 or emailing drc@purdue.edu to speak with a program specialist.
