What does ARP mean in UNCLASSIFIED

The Accommodation Request Portal (ARP) is an online platform that allows students with disabilities to request accommodations for their courses and programs. The ARP streamlines the process of requesting and receiving accommodations, making it easier for students to access the support they need to succeed in their academic endeavors.

The ARP is available to all students with disabilities who are registered with the Office of Disability Services (ODS). Students with disabilities include those with physical, cognitive, sensory, or mental health impairments that may affect their ability to participate fully in the educational environment.

The ARP allows students to request a wide range of accommodations, including extended time on exams, note-taking assistance, assistive technology, and alternative testing formats. The specific accommodations available will vary depending on the student's individual needs and the requirements of their courses and programs.

To request accommodations through the ARP, students must first register with the ODS and provide documentation of their disability. Once registered, students can access the ARP online and submit a request for accommodations. The request should include information about the student's disability, the specific accommodations they are requesting, and the courses and programs for which they are seeking accommodations.

Once a student submits a request for accommodations, the ODS will review the request and determine whether the accommodations are appropriate and reasonable. If the request is approved, the ODS will issue a letter of accommodation that outlines the specific accommodations that the student is entitled to. The student should provide the letter of accommodation to their instructors and other relevant staff members.

Students can track the status of their accommodation request through the ARP. The ARP provides real-time updates on the progress of the request, including when it was received, reviewed, and approved.
