Be sure to complete your semester review in a timely fashion. Accessibility Services recommends completing the review a week before classes start to ensure your accommodations and supports are in place.

Once a semester request has been submitted, our office will carry forward the requested accommodations. The Accommodate system will send your Request for Accommodation letter directly to each instructor whose course you need accommodations for.

Accessibility Services encourages students to meet with their instructors to discuss the accommodations and identify any options that best fit the course expectations, academic integrity, and/or licensing credentials (if needed, e.g., nursing practicum requirements). Likewise, we encourage instructors to reach out to students to discuss ways to support students in their course.
