Disability Support Services (DSS) works with offices across RISD to create an accessible community that provides all students with the support needed to access their education and campus community fully. It provides, arranges and coordinates appropriate and reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities, obtains and maintains disability-related documents, determines eligibility for services and reasonable accommodations, and develops plans for implementing such accommodations.

Students must register with DSS and in accordance with RISD's accommodation timeline in order to receive accommodations in a timely manner.
