REGISTER WITH STUDENT DISABILITY SERVICES

Students seeking accommodations or disability support services at ACSOM are required to register with Student Disability Services (SDS). While students are welcome to contact SDS directly at any time to discuss or ask questions, the typical registration process is as follows:

1. Make a formal request for accommodations
   Register with Student Disability Services to begin the accommodation(s) request process via our Online Registration Form. We will ask you to provide information about your disability, history of accommodations, and make requests for specific accommodations. Information provided is confidential, and only accessible by Student Disability Services. You are encouraged to complete the application and submit documentation (Steps 1 & 2) in advance of your intake appointment.
     

2. Provide documentation of your disability
   SDS developed documentation guidelines to assist students with various disabilities and conditions to request the necessary documentation from their treatment providers. Once you have completed your SDS registration form, you are encouraged to return to the documentation guidelines page for guidance on securing the necessary documents. You are encouraged to send your disability documentation to SDS in advance of your intake appointment. Please review these documentation guidelines and contact our office if you have further questions beyond what is covered there.
    

3. Contact SDS
   Current and prospective students should email SDS to schedule an intake appointment. Appointments can take place via Google Meet.
     

4. Determination of eligibility and accommodations
   SDS takes into consideration the information provided during the intake meeting, your disability documentation, and the requirements of your academic and clinical program to determine your eligibility for services and, if appropriate, recommend specific accommodations. This is an interactive process in which it is essential that you be an active participant.

NOTE:  A history of accommodations, or lack thereof, does not necessarily predict the provision of accommodations here at ACSOM. Additionally, any accommodations received at ACSOM does not predict the provision of accommodations on US Licensing exams.
