Process to Implement your Accommodations

STEP ONE: REQUEST ACCOMMODATIONS

• Request accommodations each semester

• Log in to the CDA Student Online Portal

• Request Approved Accommodations through the Portal

Please note: Accommodation Letters are not automatically sent to instructors.  Students must request the accommodations in the portal each semester.

STEP TWO: REVIEW

• Review – the Accessibility Consultant will review the request for accommodations. If the Consultant has any questions the student will be contacted

• Consider – the Accessibility Consultant will consider the specific course requirements and the requested accommodations

• Allow 3-5 business days for the Accessibility Consultant to review requests

STEP THREE: ACCOMMODATION LETTER

• Write – the Accessibility Consultant will write an Accommodation Letter for each class and email the instructor

• Notice – Students receive notice by email that the Accommodation Letters have been sent to the instructors

• Review – Students are required to review the Accommodation Letters to make sure requirements and expectations are understood for each course

STEP FOUR: WORK TOGETHER

• Collaborate – The student, instructor, and CDA work together to implement and arrange for accommodations

• Meet – students are encouraged to meet with instructors to discuss the accommodations

• Inform – students and faculty are encouraged to inform the Accessibility Consultant of any issues throughout the semester
