Who we are
The OAR team helps students with disabilities have an equal opportunity in all aspects of our educational environment. It's a completely free service where you'll be matched with an advisor to map out your accommodation plan each semester. The plan maps out your academic goals here at OCC, along with your plans after graduation. Participation in OAR is confidential and does not appear on your transcripts. Current OCC students who suspect that they may have a disability are welcome to be screened at the OAR office before being referred for outside evaluation.
Who qualifies for OAR?
OAR serves students with a wide range of disabilities, including but not limited to vision or hearing impairment, acquired brain injuries (ABI,) and autism. Students who had a documented disability in high school should submit their 504 plan, IEP, and a copy of psychological testing to OAR upon admission to OCC. Other forms of appropriate documentation include reports from a student’s physician, ACCESS/VR, Department of Veterans Affairs, or Workers' Compensation. All reports must detail the exact nature of the disability.
