Our Role

Please see our contact page for DRC office hours, student and faculty drop-in times, and contact information.

How to Register with the DRC.

Students seeking assistance who are already affiliated with the DRC should contact their advisor directly. See our contacts page for staff direct emails or book an appointment by logging into the Student Portal and selecting ‘Schedule an Appointment’.
