΢ÃÜȦ

The Center for Disability Access at ΢ÃÜȦ is the College’s designated agent for determining eligibility, facilitating access, and coordinating accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities. Students requesting adjustments, modifications, or services related to a disability need to register with the this office to determine eligibility.

Center for Disability Access Registration Process

To request accommodations for the first time at ΢ÃÜȦ, follow this Registration Process:

1. : Use your ΢ÃÜȦ credentials to log into our online portal, (Accessible Information Management/AIM), and complete a New Student Application. We ask for relevant information about your disability or medical condition, its impact on you, and any specific accommodations requested.
2. Submit Supporting Documentation: Relevant and current documentation from a qualified professional is required to establish a non-obvious disability and disability-related need for accommodations. After submitting your application, you can upload this supporting documentation directly to your application. Review our Documentation Guidelines for assistance. Need more time to get documentation? You can submit documentation at any point in the process and can discuss the possibility of provisional accommodations with a staff member in the interim.
3. We will assign you a primary case manager who will review your application, let you know if any additional documentation is needed, and email you to schedule an intake once your application is complete. At your intake, we will review your eligibility for accommodations based on the information provided. If eligible, we will work collaboratively to develop an appropriate accommodation plan based on your self-report in the New Student Application and the supporting documentation you submitted. We will discuss next steps, go over CDA policies and procedures and provide any trainings necessary to access your accommodations effectively each semester.

Please Note: All three steps must be completed before a student can be eligible to receive accommodations. Submitting documentation to the institution alone is not sufficient.

Ongoing Requests

After registering with the our office, students who are eligible to receive accommodations on an ongoing basis can request and manage them as-needed through the online portal.

To receive accommodations in their courses each semester, students will need to request accommodation letters for each course via the online portal. Some accommodation services—like test proctoring, accessible media provision, assistive technology loans, communication access services, and peer note-taking—may also require you to submit individual requests (as outlined separately) to facilitate timely and appropriate administration of those services.
