Step 7.
An Accommodation Notification Letter will be prepared for each course in the initial semester and sent to the course instructor and student by e-mail through AIM. The letter will contain all approved accommodations appropriate for the instructional mode of the course. Accommodations become effective on the date the letters are issued and remain in effect for the duration of the current semester. The student must request letters each semester that they wish to use accommodations.
Step 8.
Students are encouraged to communicate with each instructor either in person, by phone, or by email to discuss implementation of their approved accommodations. Any modification to the approved accommodations must be reviewed and authorized by the Accessibility & Accommodations Manager; instructors and students may not independently alter the approved accommodations.
Timeline
