Our Mission

The mission of the Accommodations and Resource Center is to provide accommodations and services which enable students with disabilities to successfully complete their academic goals.

The Center can assist students to maximize their potential while helping them develop and maintain independence. Our philosophy is one that promotes self-awareness, self-determination and self-advocacy in a comprehensively accessible environment. Any student may consult with the AARC to determine eligibility to receive accommodations and/or services.
