Information you share with Disability Support Services (DSS) regarding the nature of your disability is considered private. Such information will be maintained in this office in a manner consistent with the Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. Inadequate information, incomplete answers, and/or illegible documents may delay the DSS process.

STEP 2 – Schedule & attend an intake meeting with a Case Manager to discuss the DSS process and your request for academic accommodations. If possible, all supporting documentation should be submitted before the intake meeting.
STEP 3 – Schedule & attend a decision meeting with your Case Manager to discuss accommodations decisions and, if approved, procedures for accommodations and coordination of services.
STEP 4 – Verify approved accommodations

Your Case Manager will email Faculty Notification Letters (formally known as Letters of Accommodation) to inform the instructors of your approved accommodations. A copy will also be sent to your student email. This process activates your accommodations. However, students and instructors are encouraged to meet to clarify the delivery of accommodations and course requirements.
