At the University of Illinois, students with disabilities can register with Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES) to allow University of Illinois students with non-visible disabilities, including mental health, equal access to their courses, and campus activities. For registered DRES students, we provide academic coaching (for organization, time management, structure, prioritizing, and motivation), group therapy, and individual therapy appointments without session limits at no cost to the student. However, we do charge No Show Fees if appointments are not cancelled within 24 hours.
