The Office of Accessibility Resources and Services (OARS) offers many important services to its students with disabilities. Eligibility for these services is determined individually based on documentation of need. Prospective students are encouraged to meet with OARS staff to learn about available services and accommodations. Reasonable accommodations depend upon the nature and degree of severity of the documented disability. While the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1
990 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
Housing (On-Campus) and/or Dining, Accommodations
Advanced Registration
Faculty/ Staff Consultation
Time management, study strategies, and advocacy skills.
