Staying Connected with the Office of Accessibility Resources (OAR) Each Semester
Students currently registered with the Office of Accessibility Resources (OAR) who wish to use their approved accommodations for the upcoming term must submit a Semester Request for Accommodation Letters. Once the request is received, the OAR will generate and electronically distribute the accommodation letters to the student’s instructors. A copy of the letter will also be provided to the student for their records.
Accommodations related to academic coursework are effective beginning on the date the professor is notified via the accommodation letter and are, generally, are not retroactive; therefore, students are strongly encouraged to obtain their accommodation letters before classes begin.
Students that require specific academic and environmental accommodations, (e.g. adaptive software, accessible classrooms, CART services, interpreters) are strongly encouraged to contact the OAR Director at least three weeks before the start of the new term. Students that require alternate format materials (e.g. large-print, e-text) are encouraged to meet with the OAR Director as soon as classes are selected.
