Accessibility Resources

Randolph-Macon College is committed to equal opportunity for all academically-qualified students and does not discriminate on the basis of disability. Accommodations are available to support students with disabilities in taking full advantage of the College’s educational, residential, social, and cultural opportunities.

The Office of Accessibility Resources (AR) is responsible for the coordination of these accommodations. Accessibility Resources staff determines eligibility for services and reasonable academic accommodations.

Mission

The Office of Accessibility Resources (AR) fosters an inclusive campus climate through education, service, collaboration, and outreach. We provide support for students with documented disabilities by promoting equal access to all campus programs and services.

Goals

Enhance the ability of students with disabilities to understand how that disability affects the student in an educational setting, and with this understanding learn how to be a better self-advocate.
Communicate effectively with pre-admission students and their parents, providing information about office processes, procedures, and services.
Continually review relevant court and Office for Civil Rights rulings concerning persons with disabilities, as well as reviewing best practice models by maintaining membership in professional organizations and subscriptions to peer-reviewed journals and other relevant publications.
Provide leadership that ensures disability is recognized as a rich part of the diversity fabric on campus by providing information, education, and consultation to the entire Randolph-Macon community.
