Accessing or Renewing Your Accommodations

Your accommodations are approved. What next?

Once your accommodations are approved, the Access Specialist will contact you to explain how to access your accommodations and request that notification be shared with your professors.

• Undergraduates and graduate students at the McNichols Campus decide each semester in which courses they will use their approved accommodations. Student Accessibility Services will then notify those professors of the student’s accommodations.
  
  
• Students enrolled at the McNichols Campus who want to use their approved disability accommodations for the upcoming term, must complete a SEMESTER REQUEST.
