What is RCPD?

The Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities helps to make MSU accessible for all Spartans, including students with visual, mobile, and learning disabilities as well as those who are deaf and hard of hearing and or those with psychiatric or chronic illnesses.

What role does RCPD play in digital accessibility on campus?

RCPD helps connect students with assistive technology and alternative formats of course materials. Through the Assistive Technology Center, RCPD can connect individuals at MSU with the top Assistive Technology and advise on best practices for use. Assistive technology is also made available in MSU computer labs and the Library. RCPD is continually exploring new Assistive Technology Initiatives, which you can read more about on their website.
