Request Services

The Path to Accommodations and Services

Disability Accommodations & Success Strategies (DASS) is the office designated by 51²è¹Ý to receive requests and make determinations about disability-related services here at the university. 

What Do We Need from You? 

To request services and accommodations, students must complete and submit to DASS an online Accommodation Request Form along with supporting documentation. Any disability-related information that students share with other 51²è¹Ý offices, such as 51²è¹Ý Admission, is not shared with our office. Carefully read and follow the step-by-step instructions to learn about how to get these items to us.

When Should I Start this Process?

DASS staff members review files only for students who have committed to attending 51²è¹Ý and paid a deposit. If you are a new 51²è¹Ý student beginning classes in the fall term, we recommend applying for DASS services in June, unless you are requesting housing accommodations, in which case we recommend beginning the process as early as possible. No matter when you apply, do keep in mind that accommodations, if authorized, do NOT apply retroactively.
