After registering with the DSC, students who are eligible to receive accommodations on an ongoing basis can request and manage them as-needed through the online portal.

To receive accommodations in their courses each semester, students will need to request accommodation letters for each course via the online portal. Some accommodation services—like test proctoring, accessible media provision, assistive technology loans, communication access services, and peer note-taking—may also require you to submit individual requests (as outlined by DSC separately) to facilitate timely and appropriate administration of those services.
