Access*Ability Resource Center (ARC)

The mission of the Access*Ability Resource Center (ARC) is to ensure program access for students with disabilities on all campuses.

• Goal I: To coordinate and provide reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities.
• Goal II: To responsibly advocate for an accessible, hospitable, and inclusive learning environment, through removal of informational, physical, and attitudinal barriers.
• Goal III: To promote self-determination and personal responsibility of students with disabilities.

Completing the Student Request for ARC Services form and submitting disability documentation is the first step in the accommodation process.

Students needing a sign language interpreter or other services for the deaf and hard of hearing should contact an ARC Coordinator at (502) 213-4104 to arrange an appointment to meet.
