AIM - Accessible Information Management

Beginning Fall 2023, Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) began a transition to Accessible Information Management or AIM for short. Students now request accommodations, submit documentation, and schedule appointments through AIM. Students can also view, print, and save a copy of their Course Accessibility Letter at any time!

Students request their course accessibility letters via AIM, and AIM emails the letters to their instructors.  Instructors can then review them and plan for implementation. Students can also request follow-up consultations directly through the system. We hope this will further improve student interactions with our office.

As part of this transition, SSD has extensively reviewed and updated the language used to describe accommodations to provide greater clarity. We hope this provides students with better, more consistent service from us, and answers commonly asked questions from instructors.

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