The Academic Accessibility Resources (AAR) office provides reasonable academic accommodations for students with permanent and temporary disabilities in accordance with the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA).
Since every student’s journey is different, AAR offers academic accommodations on a case-by-case basis depending on student self report, past history of need, and current need of academic accommodations. Accommodations and services are provided to students with documented physical, psychological, and/or learning disabilities. These disabilities may be temporary or life-long. We encourage students to meet with AAR as soon as possible because accommodations are not retroactive.
Students who receive academic accommodations complete the same course requirements as all students, and accommodations will not interfere with the fundamental requirements or objectives of the course. Academic accommodations are meant to provide equal access to students.
Students/Parents should fill out the Academic Accessibility Intake Form prior to meeting with our AAR department for accommodations.

Student stickers are given out at the first of the semester based on data the student has input into the AU Student Portal. If handicapped parking is required, each lot has a number of handicapped spaces, which are clearly marked. These handicapped spaces are governed by Kentucky state law and require a handicapped permit. If a student is not from Kentucky, the student should apply for a handicapped permit from the home state.
