Accessibility Resources

We are committed to partnering with the entire university community to create a campus where everyone feels supported, valued, and included. By increasing awareness, removing obstacles, and fostering a sense of belonging, we aim to help students succeed as learners, develop confidence as self-advocates, and grow as leaders.

We empower students to become independent and self-assured through innovative and personalized approaches. We collaborate with faculty to provide the tools and insights needed to enhance the learning experience and build a campus environment that is welcoming, inclusive, and supportive for all.

Key Information for Students

No Deadline for Registration
You can register for services and accommodations at any time. However, some requests may require extra processing time. For housing-related accommodations, requests made fewer than 60 days before moving in may not be guaranteed for the first semester or term.

No Fees
There is no cost to register for accommodations.

No Need to Reregister Each Semester
Once approved as a qualified person with a disability, you will not need to reregister for services.

Revising Your Accommodation Request
Students are required to confirm the accommodations they want to use each semester. If you'd like to revise or propose changes to your accommodations, schedule a meeting with an ARO staff member. Additional documentation may be needed to support new requests not covered by your current documentation.
