MyAccessCenter (MAC) is DRES’ portal for coordinating accommodations and services for students with disabilities.
Students
Students applying for accommodations and services with DRES will use MAC to submit their application. It’s also where DRES students may access their Letters of Accommodation (LOAs), view documents and references, and schedule exams in the Testing Accommodation Center (TAC).
Students must first be enrolled at the University of Illinois in order to begin an application through MAC.

Step 3 of 3: Agreement
I understand that in order for the Division of Disability Resources and Educational Services to verify my disability, as well as the functional manifestations of my disability for which academic adjustments, auxiliary aids and/or other accommodative services may be required, the office must obtain pertinent student evaluations, psychological reports, transcripts, and medical reports. I understand that to obtain these reports this form must be submitted and on file.
I understand that no one other than Division of Disability Resources and Educational Services personnel has immediate access to my submitted files, and that any information regarding my disability which is gained from these files shall be considered confidential and will only be shared with others within the institution on a need-to-know basis. I further understand that my reports will not be released except in accordance with federal and state laws.
Therefore, for the purposes noted above and in accordance with the conditions specified, I hereby authorize release of information from my reports to authorized personnel at the University of Illinois and Division of Disability Resources and Educational Services.
