General Information

Accessibility Resource Center (ARC) provides support services to TCNJ students who have identified themselves as having disabilities, divergences, or access issues. For those with physical challenges, the office provides assistance with accommodations for your residence hall room or academic classroom. For those who have a documented learning disability, we provide support services relative to academic achievement.

In order to be eligible to receive these services, you must provide ARC written documentation of your disability (preferably documented either during your high school years or within the last three years). Documentation from individuals with identified learning disabilities should be provided by a certified learning specialist. Others with physical, psychological*, or attentional challenges may require information from their physicians, psychologists, neurologists, etc. Accessibility Resource Center actively protects the confidentiality of each individual’s records and all documents will be securely filed in ARC.
