Student Resources
The DRC provides resources and accommodations for students in the areas of academics, housing, and dining.
See more information on Requesting Accommodations.
“People usually think of disability as an individual flaw or problem, rather than as something partly created by the world we live in. It is rare that people think about disability as a political experience or as encompassing a community full of rich histories, cultures or legacies.”

Disabilities on Campus
As of the close of the 2023-2024 academic year, 948 of our 2,800 undergraduate students at Middlebury College had at least one accommodation. Some students have more than one disability.

Rani Basnet
Hi, guys. I’m Rani, and I just wanted to share with you how much the DRC has helped me throughout my undergraduate experience.
So I first got connected with Deirdre when I was looking for academic accommodations, like recording lectures, to kind of enhance my learning experience.
But then after that, I just was either looking for other academic accommodations or dining accommodations and the list goes on and on and on.
But through every change and accommodation I requested, they supported me at every turn.
And the process was super simple.
I just had to fill up a form on their website and then they, you know, and then they would get back to me in a couple of days.
It was just as easy as that.
And I’m just really thankful for the DRC because they’re always just thinking about students and they just they just have, like, endless efforts and initiatives made to make our lives easier.

Hi, I’m Aubrianna (she/her pronouns).
When I think of inclusion, it’s more than just being included. I’m reminded of moments at Middlebury where I felt seen, valued, and welcomed. It’s about building a sense of belonging for all people within our community.
Like when a student organization picks a wheelchair accessible event location.
Or when a professor brings up full participation and access in their syllabus.
And when administrators are designing new student housing, they ask for input from disabled voices.
Inclusion means asking ourselves “How can I make Middlebury a more inclusive place for everyone?
