Welcome to Lamar University and the Accessibility Resource Center (ARC). Lamar University is a diverse and accessible global university for lifelong learners committed to supporting students with disabilities. The ARC (formerly Disability Resource Center) is the university-designated office that facilitates equitable access for students in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
Lamar University and the Accessibility Resource Center (ARC) are committed to equitable learning opportunities for students with disabilities through the appropriate use of accommodations and modifications to ensure access to courses, services, activities, and facilities.
Students seeking disability-related accommodations should complete an online application with the ARC and submit documentation establishing a disability. Once the application and documentation are received, the student will be scheduled for an intake appointment with the ARC where eligibility and individualized reasonable accommodations will be discussed. Students may apply to the ARC at any time but early registration is encouraged. Once accommodations are assigned to the student, they may select their accommodations for each registered course. Accommodations are never retroactive.
