The Accessibility Resource Center

Mission Statement 

The Mission of the Accessibility Resource Center (ARC) is to assist students with documented disabilities by providing reasonable accommodations and services that ensure equal access to all programs, activities, and related benefits of the University’s educational and professional programs. 

The Accessibility Resource Center works in collaboration with students to determine appropriate reasonable accommodations based upon the individualized needs of the student.  ARC acts as a resource and works in cooperation with faculty and other university departments.  We strive to empower, support and guide our diverse community in achieving, promoting and fostering independence, self-advocacy and success. 

Accessibility Resource Center is committed to providing access for all students with documented disabilities to all programs, activities and related benefits of the University’s educational and professional programs, in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act (1990, as amended in 2008) and applicable state law.

ARC Portal Information

The Accessibility Resource Center has been moving toward using a secure online portal to manage accommodations. Students have been successfully requesting their Accommodation Letters via this portal since Fall 2021! Now Faculty will utilize the Portal to manage Alternative Testing by including testing dates and instructions at the beginning of the semester and uploading exams to our secure portal rather than getting numerous emails prior to each test or quiz. In addition, you will be able to see which students in your courses have requested accommodations and which accommodations they requested for your course.
