About the Disability Faculty Portal

The Disability Faculty Portal provides professors and instructors with a comprehensive suite of tools. They can access the Resource Library for disability-related information, view accommodation letters for students enrolled in their courses (with student permission), monitor test sign-ups by student per course and exam, view peer course notes when applicable, and upload exams for students to take at the CDR Testing Center.
