The following procedures are intended for those students who have been verified as eligible to receive academic accommodations.
Accommodations are not automatically assigned each semester. In order to receive classroom accommodations each semester, verified students must complete the following steps each semester:
STEP 1: Meet with an academic advisor to review the course schedule. After this meeting, the advisor will lift the registration hold on the student's account so the student may register. . Please note, SDS does not provide academic advising for students with disabilities, nor can we remove the registration hold from a student's account.
