About Us

OARS Mission

OARS collaborates with UNCG’s diverse community to ensure that all aspects of campus life are accessible. This includes the removal of barriers to access whenever possible and assessment/implementation support for reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. OARS provides the institution with resources, education, and direct services promoting equitable and inclusive access and inherent acknowledgment of disability as a part of diversity.
