Office of Accessibility Resources and Services
Do you need to request accommodations? The Office of Accessibility Resources and Services (OARS) works collaboratively with students with disabilities to eliminate barriers to learning and living in the Bethel community.
We invite you to connect with an accessibility specialist to identify accommodations or supports that may be beneficial to your success here at Bethel. Students qualify for services through OARS upon self-disclosure of a disability and the presentation of documentation.

Accommodations
A reasonable accommodation is simply an adjustment to a course, program, or activity that provides a person who has a disability with an equal opportunity. Reasonable accommodations should not fundamentally alter courses, programs, or activities.
Examples of accommodations:
- Extended time for exams and quizzes
- Testing in a reduced distraction location
- Readers and/or scribes for exams
- Note-taking support through technology
- Alternative format of texts and course materials
- Sign language interpreters
- Single room housing options
Assessment and documentation
