The Office of Equal Opportunity works toward creating an NC State where everyone is welcome.
The Office of Equal Opportunity seeks to create an NC State experience where everyone feels at home as part of the Wolfpack. We advance equal opportunity by providing access and accommodations by providing access and accommodations, by offering prevention-based classes and information, and by addressing concerns related to unlawful discrimination in the NC State community.
We strive to:
Prepare students, faculty and staff for local, state, national and global collaboration;
Ensure equal opportunity across campus;
Strengthen relationships across all groups;
Foster a welcoming and respectful campus;
Provide services and outreach to the campus and community; and
Adhere to accountability and compliance standards.
Our Disability Resource Office works diligently to ensure that students with disabilities have an equal opportunity to participate in courses and programs by determining appropriate accommodations and serving as a resource to faculty by helping them understand their obligation in the provision of approved accommodations. If you have any questions or need clarification, please contact us.
“In the Office of Equal Opportunity, we serve as leaders in equal opportunity to the NC State community through engagement, education, services, capacity building and compliance.”
