Veteran's Disability Services

Disability Services & Resources

We understand that combat veterans may come to UACCB with special needs or concerns that result from combat experience. UACCB wants to do everything possible to ensure that these combat-related conditions do not interfere with your education. Disability Services assists in providing equal access for qualified students with disabilities to all curricular and co-curricular opportunities offered by the institution. Specifically, Disability Services work diligently to:

Ensure that qualified individuals with disabilities receive reasonable and appropriate accommodations so as to have equal access to all institutional programs and services regardless of the type and extent of the disability in compliance with section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended; the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990; and the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA) of 2008
Inform the campus community of the availability of equipment and technology helpful to those with disabilities
Define and describe the procedures for obtaining services and accommodations
Advocate for equal access, accommodations, and respect for students with disabilities within the campus community

Equal Opportunity

The University of Arkansas at Batesville (UACCB) is committed to providing an environment that emphasizes the dignity and worth of every member of its community and that is free from harassment and discrimination based upon race, color, religion, national origin, service in the uniformed services (as defined in state and federal law), veteran status, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, pregnancy, physical or mental disability or genetic information. Such an environment is necessary to a healthy learning, working and living atmosphere.
