The UWM Accessibility Resource Center (ARC) is dedicated to serving students with disabilities, providing equal access to the university’s academic, social, cultural and recreational program, and paving the way for these students to experience college life in full, alongside their peers.

We work closely with university faculty and staff to ensure consistent and efficient accommodations for students, acting as a resource for the campus and community. Our staff participate in national and state organizations, as well as professional development, to stay abreast on all opportunities available for students with disabilities.
