Survey: Remote Learning in Higher Education

Disability Rights Advocates (DRA), a non-profit law center in Berkeley, California, is investigating the experiences of higher education students who are denied disability-related accommodations for remote learning. The questions below ask about your personal experience with requesting disability-related accommodations before and after your college/university began remote learning. This survey is entirely voluntary - feel free to share only to the extent you are comfortable. Your personal information will not be shared with anyone outside of DRA. We will look at trends in responses, and may contact a handful of people to follow up regarding your experiences, but any information you share with us (on this form or otherwise) will be kept strictly confidential. This survey should only take 5-10 minutes to complete, and will help us in our effort to ensure that all students who need disability-related accommodations are able to thrive in college and beyond. If you would prefer to share your experiences via email or phone, please contact Jess Miller-Suchet at jmiller-suchet@dralegal.org or (510) 665-8644.
