Application for Accommodations and Services

Requesting Accommodation Letters through Accommodate
Each semester, you must complete a Semester Request, which sends your accommodations to each of your faculty members. Use the link below, then click "Accommodations", then "Semester Request". Finally, select Add New, choose the current semester, and send your letters. Our staff complete this process, and your instructors can log into Accommodate to see your letters.
Note-Taker Request Form
This is provided to students with disabilities who require a note-taker in the classroom, which is determined during the student's registration meeting, or if the student's disability status changes at any time and requires this accommodation. Use this form if you are approved for Copies of Class Notes on your Accommodation Letter. Complete the Note-taker Request Form for each class. The AccessAbility Center can also provide you assistive technology, such as Genio, for note taking support.
