Schedule

• Once your application is processed, you will receive an email from your coordinator, asking you to send a few date and time options to schedule your orientation. You must complete this step to access disability services.
• Please let your coordinator know if you would prefer an in-person or virtual registration meeting. If you do not specify, the meeting will be held virtually through Blackboard Collaborate. 

Attend

• You must attend your registration meeting with your coordinator in order to receive accommodations. When you meet with your coordinator, they will review SDRC policies and procedures, make you aware of which accommodations you have been approved for, and help you get logged in to your AIM profile. 

You are NOT registered with our office until you attend your registration meeting. 

• You will need to send out your Faculty Notification Letters for each semester you wish to receive your accommodations. 
• Remember to request any other accommodations you may need: Test Proctoring, Alternative Format Textbooks, Reduced Course Load, or Assistive Technology. 
• Your coordinator will also send you a post-registration meeting email with additional information and access to the Registered Student Information page.
• If you have questions, you can find your coordinator's name and contact information on the bottom of the left-hand toolbar in AIM.
