The Disabled Students' Program (DSP) on campus can assist students with disabilities in securing priority for housing. Some residence hall rooms on the Berkeley campus have been modified for physically disabled, deaf, hard of hearing, and visually impaired students. In order to qualify for priority housing and receive the appropriate accommodations, students must provide DSP with verification of their disabilities.
Additionally, UC Berkeley, in conjunction with the California Department of Rehabilitation, offers a one-of-a-kind independent living program, the Disabled Students' Residence Program (DSRP). DSRP assists those students with physical disabilities, usually requiring a motorized wheelchair and daily attendant assistance. they participate for two semesters, developing independent living skills. DSRP assists students with learning how to hire, train and manage their own attendants and maintain the financial resources required to continue living independently.
