Accessibility Resource Office Campus Departments

No. On and off-campus resources for assessments are available upon request. Students are responsible for the cost of any evaluation. Please reach out for assessment referrals.

No. Students must request accommodations through the ARO registration process. A diagnosis alone does not qualify you for accommodations. Students with a disability must document the current existence of an impairment that substantially limits a major life activity.

The ARO follows FERPA guidelines and recognizes the right of the student to determine who receives disability-related information. This information is stored separately from the academic records office. The accommodation process requires the student to provide letters from the ARO to faculty listing the agreed-upon accommodations.

No. Students are not charged for reasonable accommodations. Students are responsible for the costs of personal aids or devices such as wheelchairs, hearing aids, private tutors, etc.

Our office is staffed during the academic year Monday-Friday from 8am-5pm. An appointment will guarantee that we will be able to meet with you at your preferred time, but you are welcome to drop in to meet with staff during their office hours. If we can’t see you when you drop in, we will set up an appointment.

We are available for virtual or in-person appointments throughout the summer.

Third-party documentation is helpful, although not always required. We may be able to proceed with an intake or may implement conditional accommodations while waiting for documentation.

Yes. The ARO works with students experiencing temporary disability to implement appropriate short-term accommodations. The same application process applies.
