Accommodate Tutorials for Students

It is your responsibility as a student to submit a semester request for each semester that you are using your accommodations. Accommodations are not retroactive, so it is in your best interest to submit your request at the start of the semester. Accommodations that are requested before the semester starts will be sent out during the first day of classes.

Access the Accommodate Portal
Select “Accommodation” then “Semester Request” on the left-hand toolbar
Select “Add New”
Select from the drop down menu, the semester you are requesting for
Select your courses and accommodations

Select “Review the Renewal” to pick the specific courses where a letter will be sent for each accommodation that has been approved.
Under each “Accessibility Accommodation” are the courses you are registered for. Uncheck the box next to the course if you DO NOT want that accommodation for that course
Select “Submit” to complete your request

Notes:

Once your semester request is submitted, a copy of your Accommodation Letter will be sent to your faculty to review via Accommodate.
If you add a new class after submitting a semester request, you will need to submit a new request in order for your Accommodation Letter to be sent to your new faculty.

Access the Accommodate Portal
Select “Accommodation” then “Accommodation Letters” on the left-hand toolbar
Select the letter you would like to view
