Our Mission Statement
The mission of Idaho State University's ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and Disabilities Resource Center is to increase access to all programs and services sponsored or funded by Idaho State University. This is accomplished by advocating for equitable treatment in all aspects of campus life. Any student, faculty, or staff member who has a qualified permanent or temporary disability may be eligible for services through the center. The ADA and Disabilities Resource Center acts as a catalyst and agent for compliance with federal and State laws and regulations mandating equal opportunity and access for persons with disabilities. The ADA and Disabilities Resource Center also provides co-curricular and academically related services that empower individuals to achieve academic and personal self-determination.

Important information for Idaho Falls Students!
All students using the Idaho Falls Testing Center are now required to present a valid accommodations letter from the current semester to the Center staff before being allowed to test. This practice is being initiated because staff at the Center may not know what your specific accommodations are. This has caused some confusion and frustration on everyone's part and it is hoped that this will make the testing and accommodations process run more smoothly.
Please direct any questions about this policy to the ADA Center office at 282-3599.
