Registered DAS students must request accommodations each term through their DAS Online Student Services account. Students are encouraged to request accommodations within 48 hours after registering for classes. Accommodations requested for the current term after Friday of week 8 will be approved on a case-by-case basis. Please note that accomodations are not retroactive. In order to ensure sufficient time to provide accommodations, the student must submit their accommodation requests online withiin the appropriate time frame each term (see Chapter 1, "Students' Rights and Responsibilities"). Please see the following timeline for the minimum time requirements for specific accommodations.

If a request is submitted after the relevant deadline, reasonable efforts will be made by DAS and instructors to accommodate the request. However, we cannot guarantee that such a request can be met. Untimely requests may result in delays, substitutions, or denial of accommodations for the term.

Be sure to read DAS emails, reminders, and agreeements in order to utilize accommodations effectively.
