Part 12 RESOURCES FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES Consistent with its obligations under federal and state law, the Law School makes reasonable accommodations in the academic program for students with disabilities. To obtain accommodations, a student should first contact the Disability Resource Center (DRC) at the University of Georgia. The Disability Resource Center is located in Clark Howell Hall.
 Phone: (706) 542-8719 TTY: (706) 542-8778 Fax: (706) 542-7719 The mission of the Disability Resource Center is to promote equal educational opportunities and a welcoming academic, physical, and social environment for students with disabilities at the University. It seeks to eliminate both physical and attitudinal barriers that may exist on campus and to promote inclusion for students with disabilities in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, as amended in 1998. To qualify for services, students need to complete an intake packet and provide current documentation supporting their disability related accommodations from a qualified professional (see specific criteria on website). For more information on eligibility and services, please call or visit the DRC webpage at www.drc.uga.edu. This process can take some time, so please contact the DRC as soon as possible to begin the process. Once a student is registered with the DRC and is eligible for specific accommodations, then the student will work with the Associate Director for Student Affairs at the Law School regarding the accommodations. Questions should be directed to the Office of Student Affairs (asklut@uga.edu).
