New Aggies
To be eligible for services at the college level, you must self-identify by registering on-line through AIM for academic accommodations. To receive accommodations you are required to disclose your disability to the Office of Accessibility Resources (OARS) via AIM. In addition, you must provide and upload documentation of your disability to support the request. Once it has been determined that you are eligible for reasonable accommodations, you will receive an email notification to schedule an initial meeting with an OARS staff member.
- You can schedule an intake meeting by logging into the AIM portal and selecting Request for Appointment.
- If you are unable to request an appointment via AIM, please email oars@ncat.edu with available dates and times.
- If you do not receive an appointment confirmation or email within 48 hours, please contact OARS at (336) 334-7765.
