Connect with ARS

This self-identification form is for use by any incoming or existing student, including program applicants, and should be used as the first step in connecting with ARS for accommodations and for existing students already connected with ARS with accommodations to request additional or modified accommodations.

Please note:

The submission of this self-identification form and documentation does not, in itself, guarantee a requested accommodation will be approved. Determinations are made on a case-by-case basis and based upon our understanding of the disability / chronic medical condition impacts you are experiencing as evidenced in the documentation available. ARS Staff will also consider whether the accommodation request fundamentally alters the nature of the course or program.
If you are not able to upload documentation using the links below, please forward by email. You are also welcome to invite your licensed medical provider to complete this Documentation of Disability form. Alternatively, you can fax it to 919-843-5609. Please be sure to include your PID in the subject line or cover sheet.
If you have one, we will use your UNC email address to communicate with you. Please add ars@unc.edu to your 'safe sender' list.
If you have any questions or concerns about the accommodation request process, please refer to our policies and/or contact us by email.
- Please pay particular attention to any subsequent emails from ARS as they may well contain very specific instructions about what steps are needed to progress your accommodations request.
If you need guidance concerning documentation or are making an ESA request, please refer to the Documentation Guidelines, plus Information applicable to ESA Accommodation Requests.
As a reminder, accommodations cannot be provided retroactively, and to provide an opportunity for the application of a fair process, students must submit the self-id and documentation described in the applicable Policy on Student and Applicant Accommodations at least 14 calendar days in advance of them being implemented or needed.

Documentation Upload

* Please note - verifiable documentation (on a letter head with contact information) from an appropriate third-party (i.e. a treating medical provider or evaluator and including any professional and/or state registration or licensing credentials) should be submitted to support the accommodation(s) request. Click 'Choose file', browse to the documentation file you wish to attach, select it AND then click 'Upload'. You are welcome to submit additional documentation if it adds to the Accommodations and Modifications Committee's understanding of your accommodation needs. The submission of this Self-ID form without documentation or without a thorough response to all parts of this form will slow down the accommodation determination process, unless you are already registered with ARS and are requesting the Accommodations and Modifications Committee to consider additional or alternative accommodations.

Per the Policy on Student and Applicant Accommodations, students may use the Self-Identification Form and submit documentation at any time to initiate the registration process and to request accommodations, but accommodations cannot be provided retroactively. For example, ARS generally cannot provide accommodations for an examination if a student requests accommodations only after the student takes the examination (e.g., via a determination of grade change or other retroactive change). In addition, students must submit this Self-ID form and all necessary documentation least 14 calendar days prior to the start of the course or the exam for which the student seeks accommodations.
