Accommodate How To: Faculty & Students

Select “Courses” then “Enrolled Students.” Accommodations for any student who has chosen to use services for your course will appear under their name. Please note the accommodations will populate as students confirm their accommodations for the semester.

Select “Accommodation Letters.” All letters will be available here. You may click on each “Authorization of Academic Accommodations” to view the details for each students’ letter. You may also add your signature for acknowledgment at the bottom of each letter. You will receive an email notification from the Student Success Center (SSC) when a student decides to renew their accommodations for your course.

When a student makes a request to use their accommodations for your upcoming test or quiz, you will receive an e-mail notification from our office. You can upload the requested exam or quiz right in the Accommodate platform. Select “Courses” then “Exam.” Click “Add a New Exam.” Here, you will fill out requested testing details and upload the exam as an attachment.

In addition to uploading your exam, you can see what students in your class have pending or approved testing requests.

If this is the first time you are requesting accommodations, select “Accommodation” then “Accommodations Application.” Fill in requested information. After you submit, select “Accommodation” then “Documentation.” Here, you can upload supporting documentation. Please review our documentation guidelines before uploading.

After submitting your Accommodations Application, you will receive an email from the Student Success Center (SSC) or the Dean of Students Office to schedule an appointment to review your requests. To view the email and schedule an appointment, select “Accommodation” then “Letters.” Follow the prompt in the email.

After you have been generally approved for reasonable academic accommodations, you will need to activate these each new semester. Select “Accommodations” then “Semester Request.” Select the appropriate semester and click “Add New.” Click “Review the Renewal.” Select which accommodations you need for each course, then click “Submit.”

To schedule your test or quiz with your approved academic accommodations, select “Testing Room.” Click “New Booking Request” and fill out requested information. Check availability and select a time slot for your test or quiz. After submitting, you will receive communication from the Student Success Center (SSC) for confirmation.
