Assignments may involve academic access support, alternative testing proctoring, basic accessibility technology assistance, front-desk student support, or DRC project/outreach assistance. Student employees are not expected to perform every duty listed; comprehensive training and ongoing staff guidance are provided for every assigned task.

• Promptly refer all disability disclosures, medical documentation, complaints, accommodation disputes, technical bugs, or testing irregularities to professional DRC staff.

• Provide personal care (feeding, restroom assistance, physical lifting/transferring), medical/clinical care, professional ASL interpreting, or professional speech-to-text/CART services.

• Conduct safety-sensitive lab work without separate review, authorization, and specialized safety training.
