Accessibility

We are dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where students, faculty, and staff feel welcome and fully engaged in all our programs, services, and activities. UI COM works closely with both the UIC Disability Resource Center and the UIC Office of Access and Equity to identify and eliminate barriers and obstacles that may exist. This page provides information on accessibility services and tools designed to ensure equal access to our digital content.

MD Students: Request Accommodation

Due to the complex and nature of the medical school curriculum, the DRC’s process for approving and implementing accommodations within UI COM varies slightly from the process in most other colleges.
Non-MD Students: Request Accommodation

The DRC provides support, accommodations, and resources for students with disabilities to ensure equal access to academic programs, campus services, and facilities
Faculty & Staff: Request Accommodation

Faculty and staff who require accommodations should first reach out to the UIC Office of Access and Equity to begin the process and gather information.
