A step-by-step guide on how to submit an application for accommodations.

Once a student application has been reviewed and the student’s accommodations have been approved, the student will then be able to access the AIM student portal.  

Once a student has completed their meeting with an ADRC staff member, their approved accommodations will be available to view in the AIM Student Portal.  On the AIM Dashboard on the left menu under “My Accommodations”, select “My Eligibility” to see the complete list of currently approved accommodations.

Each semester students will need to initiate the process to send Faculty Notification Letters (Accommodation Letters) to their course instructors. The student will select which classes to send letters to; verify which accommodations they are requesting; and then submit their accommodation requests through the AIM Student Portal. Requests will be reviewed by the ADRC and then emails will be sent out through AIM directly to the instructor of record for the course. The email will be addressed by the student’s assigned ADRC staff member, and the student will receive a copy of each email when the notifications are sent.

Note: Letters requested prior to the start of the semester may not be sent until a few days prior to the start of classes. Letters requested during the semester will usually be processed within 3 business days.

Once Faculty Notification Letters have been sent to instructors' students should set-up a time to meet with their instructors (and/or other key staff members) so they can discuss how the accommodations will be implemented in that specific course and to talk through any specific questions or arrangements.

Alternative format materials can make class materials like textbooks and handouts accessible to students with a variety of disabilities. The ADRC can provide students with class materials in accessible digital formats for use with assistive technology or when using standard print materials is not possible. Students will use AIM to request their alternative format materials, check the status of their requests, and download files as they become available.
