Each semester students must initiate the process to send Faculty Notification Letters (accommodation letters) to their course instructors, if accommodations are needed. 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 Disability Services staff and then emails will be sent out through AIM directly to the instructor of record for the course.

Note: Students can request Faculty Notification Letters one week prior to the academic term. Letters requested when classes are in session are processed as received, but during busy times of the semester may take up to 48 hours to be sent.

STEPS

  1. Log into AIM Portal with your User ID and password. This will land you on your AIM student portal dashboard.
  2. Select My Dashboard from your AIM homepage, located on the left side of the screen in the gray box.
  3. Click "Add Requests" under the Accommodation Requests tile.
  4. Select the courses for which you are requesting accommodations. If you wish to apply the same accommodations to all selected courses, you may also select that option. Then click continue to next step.
  5. Select which accommodations you are requesting for each course. You may choose to "Select All," select accommodations individually, or opt out of sending accommodations for that specific course.
  6. In the "Step: Final Step" tile, click "Submit Request." Once the Accommodation Request is submitted, your request(s) will be put in a queue for review by Disability Service staff. Your letters will be emailed to your faculty members once the staff approves your request, typically within 48 hours.
