Students With Disabilities Planning To Register for Spring or Summer Classes at Parkland College

Students who are registered with DRES and plan to attend Parkland College (Online or On Campus) should be aware that they are also required to register with Parkland College’s Office of Disability Services (DS) if academic adjustments and/or auxiliary aides are desired in Parkland courses. While we maintain a close collegial relationship with DRES personnel, Parkland College is a separate institution with different policies and procedures. DRES accommodation letters should not be presented to Parkland faculty as proof of eligibility for academic adjustments and/or auxiliary aides in Parkland courses (this includes online courses).

Students who require accommodations should follow these steps:
1. Send a copy of the diagnostic information that was originally provided to DRES, to the Office of Disability Services.
  • Mail to: Parkland College, Office of Disability Services, Room X 148, 2400 West Bradley Ave, Champaign, IL 61821 or
  • FAX to: 217-353-2305 or
  • Email to: disabilityservices@parkland.edu
2. Call the Office of Disability Services at 217-353-2338 and schedule an intake appointment.

Questions? Call Kris Murray at 217-353-2338 or email disabilityservices@parkland.edu
