Mission

The mission of the AERC is to ensure equal access to all educational opportunities for scholars with documented disabilities. We serve as the central point of coordination for academic, housing, and other disability-related accommodations. Our goal is to promote full participation in university life—academically and socially—without altering the essential nature of any program.

We support students with a variety of needs, including but not limited to:

Physical and mobility impairments (e.g., muscular dystrophy, paralysis, joint disorders)
Learning disabilities (e.g., dyslexia, dysgraphia, nonverbal learning disorder)
Cognitive or neurological conditions (e.g., ADHD, traumatic brain injury)
Mental health diagnoses (e.g., anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder)
Chronic or temporary health conditions (e.g., diabetes, migraines, surgery recovery)
Neurodivergent identities (e.g., autism spectrum, sensory processing differences)
