In addition, DRES also offers a variety of learning support services to encourage your success including specialized workshops, academic coaching, disability management counseling, strengths assessment and career assistance. Academic advisement for general education courses and assistance in selecting courses is also available. Our counselors assist students in selecting courses when disability accommodations are needed; however, academic advisement must be conducted through your major's department office.
