The university is committed to providing equal and integrated access for individuals with disabilities to all the academic, social, cultural, and recreational programs it offers. We work with students to ensure access to every opportunity for learning and personal growth so that students with disabilities may participate as fully as possible in campus life. Students are expected and encouraged to utilize the resources of the Accessibility Resource Center to the degree they determine necessary. Although a significant degree of independence is expected of students, the Accessibility Resource Center is available to assist, should the need arise.
