Faculty/Staff
Introducing the ARP Faculty Portal!
We are happy to introduce a new feature in our Accommodation Request Portal: faculty access! Using your UWW log in credentials, you will be able to see:
- Student accommodation notifications
- Testing contracts and requests (including the links to upload your tests!)
- Notetaker info and uploaded notes
Instructions for using this feature may be found HERE. For questions, please contact the Center for Students with Disabilities.
Click the link below to access the Faculty Portal (please note: if you have no students requesting accommodations in your classes, you will not have anything to see).
You will still receive emails as before, but will have continued access to the same information through the Faculty Portal.

Universal Design
IDeA
The IDeA Center is dedicated to making environments and products more usable, safer and healthier in response to the needs of an increasingly diverse population. The IDeA Center's activities are based on the philosophy of Inclusive Design, often called "Universal Design" or "Design for All." It is a way of thinking that can be applied in any design activity, business practice, program or service involving interaction of people with the physical, social or virtual worlds.
The IDeA Center has divided its content into two separate websites: the IDeA Center (current site) and Universal Design E-World (UD E-World) . The IDeA Center site provides a brief overview of what we do, while UD E-World serves as a participatory environment with web based tools to support the "community of practice" in universal design. All of our ongoing research, development projects and publications can be found on UD E-World.
