Welcome to the Office of Accessibility
UNC Asheville recognizes disability as a valued aspect of diversity. The Office of Accessibility works collaboratively with students, faculty, and staff to cultivate an inclusive and accessible living, learning, and working environment. The OA provides the University community with direct services, resources, education, and innovative programming to ensure individuals with disabilities have equal access to the University’s programs and activities.

The Office of Accessibility looks forward to working with you!
To request accommodations, students submit the online application and documentation that includes the items outlined in our guidelines. Use the Application Center to review your application status, upload documentation, or schedule a meeting (locate the “Options” box on the left, and use the “Schedule an Appointment” feature).
Students registered with the OA log into Bulldog Access to view approved accommodations, send Letters of Accommodation to faculty, submit test scheduling requests, schedule an appointment, request new accommodations, and more. For additional information on accommodations and to view our FAQs, please see More Information.

UNC Asheville is committed to providing universal access to all of our events. When planning an event, Event Coordinators should contact the Office Institutional Integrity and Access to discuss and request appropriate accommodations for the program or event. If you have any questions about access or to request reasonable accommodations that will facilitate your full participation in University-sponsored events, such as ASL interpreting or captioning, please email Heather L. Lindkvist (hlindkvi@unca.edu), Assistant Vice Chancellor for Institutional Integrity and Access, to discuss the requested accommodations. Please note that advance notice is necessary to arrange for accessibility needs. We will attempt to implement late requests but cannot guarantee they will be met.
