DSS Registered Students
Renewing Accommodations
Students who have already been approved for accommodations at A&M-SA for a previous semester must initiate this process each semester. View the steps below to request your Faculty Notification Letter (FNL). This name replaces the previous name, Letters of Accommodations (LOA).
- Sign into AIM using your student credentials
- (OPTIONAL) If you are requesting additional accommodations, you may need to meet with your Case Manager and submit additional documentation from a qualified professional to support your request.
- Students are required to sign the "Student Agreement Forms" each semester. Based on the student's accommodations, there may be multiple forms to sign.
- Select the plus sign above "Add Requests for # classes."
- Choose the classes and select "Continue to Next Step."
- Select the accommodations for the class. If all accommodations are needed, choose "Select All." If accommodations are not needed, choose "I do not need accommodations for the course." Select "Submit Request" when finished.
- Once submitted, the request will be reviewed by the student's DSS case manager. FNLs are sent out during the first week of class.
- Letters will be sent through AIM directly to the instructor assigned to the course.
- Once the FNL has been processed and emailed to the instructor, a PDF version of the letter can be found on the student's dashboard by selecting "View all Requests" and "Get PDF."
Note: If the student adds a course (or changes sections) after the FNL has been submitted, it is the student's responsibility to log into AIM to request accommodations for the new course.
Adding Accommodations
Students who have a change in their diagnosis or feel additional accommodations are needed can discuss changes with the case manager. Additional documentation is required to request additional accommodations.
- After logging into AIM, select "Additional Documentation/Accommodation Request Form."
- Select "Start New Application."
- Identify the term the new accommodations would take effect. Answer the questions. Select "Submit Request."
- Upload documentation from a licensed credentialed professional. Review documentation guidelines. Submit the application.
- The case manager will reach out to the student through the student's TAMU-SA email to schedule an intake meeting.
