Bringing You Better Accessibility Services

Beginning Fall of 2023, SSD will send Course Accessibility Letters (formerly referred to as accommodations letters) directly to instructors of record via email

Instructors can also log in to the faculty dashboard at any time during the semester to view a current list of student accommodations approved in their course. As part of this transition, SSD extensively reviewed and updated our language used to describe accommodations to provide greater clarity. students with better, more consistent service from us, and answers to commonly asked questions from instructors. 

Below are some steps to take TODAY, to prepare for this change: 

Please add the domain "*@post.accessiblelearning.com" to your safe sender list (Outlook 365 instructions or Gmail instructions).

Peer notetaker requests and the Online Testing Reservation System (OTRS) used by the Werth Testing Center will remain in place for Fall 2023. We expect to sunset those request forms and roll out the AIM notetaking and alternative testing modules in 2024.
