UWM Accessibility Resource Center
Our Mission
The Accessibility Resource Center at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee is dedicated to providing equal access for disabled students to the University’s academic, social, cultural and recreational programs. We provide comprehensive services and accommodations for disabled students, as well as outreach and support to faculty and staff. The Accessibility Resource Center (ARC) is committed to creating an inclusive and accessible University experience for all students.

The UWM Accessibility Resource Center aligns with the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) concept of disability informed by social justice and with the AHEAD statement on language. Specifically, ARC is adopting and encouraging the use of identity-first language across all communication, information, and materials.
