Access Resource Centre and Academic Success Centre – Course Outline Statements

An accessibility statement indicates your willingness to assist in the provision of academic accommodations. It informs your students of the role of UNBC’s Access Resource Centre (ARC) and the university’s responsibility to provide necessary academic accommodations. The Access Resource Centre (ARC) and Academic Success Centre (ASC) provide the suggested statements for inclusion in your course outlines.
