New Students

Registration Process

1. Submit the Online Student Application. 
2. Provide documentation of your disability. 
   You can upload it as part of your application, or submit it by mail, fax, or in person. Your health care provider may also submit the documentation directly to our office.
3. Arrange an appointment to meet with our staff. 
   If you are not able to meet with us in-person, we can communicate with you by phone or a virtual meeting.
4. Applications for accommodations are accepted at any point during the academic calendar. Please keep in mind that adequate time is needed to verify the disability and/or to arrange accommodations, which are determined on an individualized, case-by-case basis. Applying for the services provided by the Accessibility Support Center earlier is strongly recommended.
5. An Eligibility Letter indicates approved accommodations.
   Check your AIM account to view a copy of your Eligibility Letter which outlines the accommodations approved by the ASC.

Student Accommodation Letters

Accessibility Support Center provides letters to you and your professors confirming that you are registered with us. The letters also provide the accommodations you are approved to receive. Accommodations are not considered official until you have discussed them with your professors.

Students who are officially registered with the Accessibility Support Center office may request their accommodation letters by completing the following process:

1. Log into the AIM database.
2. Select the courses in which you need accommodations.
3. Select the specific accommodations you need for each class.
4. Submit your request to Accessibility Support Center for approval.
