Step 1: Self-Identify, Complete the Initial Request for Accommodations Form & Provide Documentation

Students with disabilities must self-identify by completing the Initial Request for Accommodations Form.  This form provides our office with the necessary information related to their disability and will ask them to include their documentation.  Documentation requirements can be found on the Documentation Requirements page. If they do not have documentation or are not sure how to obtain this information, they can call the Disability Resources and Services Office, or they may ask this question at the intake appointment.

Step 2: Intake Appointment / Interview

Once their Initial Request for Accommodation Form is completed and the required documentation is received, they will be contacted to schedule an intake appointment with a Director in Disability Resources and Services. At the intake appointment, the student and the Director will discuss functional limitations related to the disability from the student’s perspective and as outlined in the information provided.  Historical accommodations will also be reviewed. Through this interactive process, the Director and the student will evaluate requested accommodations and determine appropriate and reasonable accommodations.

Step 3: Login to Accommodate

Accommodate is the portal that Disability Resources and Services uses to give students access to their accommodation information, which allows them to do semester requests for accommodation letters as well as to schedule appointments with our office.  To log in, go to the Accommodate website (select “student”).  They will then be prompted to log in with their CCAC Net ID and password.

Step 4: Review your accommodations & complete your semester request

Once in Accommodate, they must review accommodations and complete their semester request.  Each semester they must log in to Accommodate to complete a semester request and have their accommodation letters sent to their faculty. Once their request is completed, they will get a message via Accommodate to log in and sign their letters.
