The Office of Accessibility Resources and Services (OARS) is dedicated to providing reasonable accommodations and services to students with disabilities. Eligibility is determined individually based on documentation of need. Prospective students are encouraged to meet with OARS staff to learn about available services and accommodations at least three months before the start of the semester they will attend. The approval of reasonable accommodations depends upon the nature, degree and severity of documented disability(ies). While the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 requires that priority consideration be given to the specific methods requested by the student, it does not imply that a particular accommodation must be granted if it is deemed not reasonable and other suitable techniques are available.
Accommodations and services may include, but are not limited to:
Note Taking and Note Taking Technology
Priority Registration
