Home (in the left sidebar) shows your main menu from which you can access and adjust information pertaining to ARC students enrolled in your course(s).

Overview

The Overviewessentially your dashboard, provides a list of students who have requested accommodations in your course(s) for the current term. In this list, you’ll see the course and section numbersthe student’s name, the date the student placed the request for accommodations, and other details.  

Select Next Term (above the list of classes) to view information for the upcoming semester or Previous Term to see the last semester’s information. 

Click View in line with a student’s name to see a copy of the Notification Letter you received with specific information about the student and their accommodations.

The Syllabus page allows you to upload an electronic copy of your syllabus for your course(s), which helps ARC staff: 

  • Confirm test dates and times. 

  • Support communication access services. 

  • Identify required reading materials and determine workload priority, in case students request remediation of texts. 

To upload a syllabus, simply enter the File Information. You can also download a syllabus from here and/or delete an old syllabus and upload a new, updated syllabus, when changes to the course have been made. 

Alternative Format

In Alternative Formats, instructors can view the name of the student(s) who requested this accommodation. However, this is the only information you may see, making this page less important to view
