The Office of Disability Accessibility for Students (DAS) recognizes disability as a form of cultural diversity and works to foster an inclusive environment for all students in the higher education community.  DAS is the College’s designated agent for determining eligibility, facilitating access, and coordinating accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADAA) and Sections 504 & 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. Academic accommodations include, but are not limited to, the use of assistive technology, alternative testing sites, extended time for assessments, course accommodations, and sign language interpreters. 

Students are responsible for identifying themselves to the DAS office by completing the New Student Application for Accommodations and submitting appropriate documentation through the secure Accommodate portal. For more specific information, please visit the Getting Started with DAS section of the website. 

Students already registered with DAS must request their accommodations letters each semester so that their faculty receive the information through the secure Accommodate portal.

In addition, the DAS office serves as a resource to faculty and staff, and promotes a campus environment that is sensitive, accepting, and responsive to the needs and contributions of all CCRI students. The best way to contact the office is via email at das@ccri.edu. You may also reach DAS via phone at 401-333-7329 or 825-2164.
