How to Send Course Accessibility Letters

  1. Review and sign e-agreements if prompted.
  2. Select each course in which you are requesting accommodations.
    • Reach out to SLDS if you do not see one or more of your courses listed.
  3. Click on the button “Step 2 – Continue to Customize Your Accommodations.”
    • If you recieve exam accommodations and would like to take your quizzes/exams at SLDS, be sure to select "Exam Accommodations."
  4. Select the accommodations that you are requesting in each course.
  5. When finished, click the button “Submit Your Accommodation Requests.”
    • The letters will be emailed to you and your instructor(s). You may also choose to download a PDF copy of the letter by selecting the course from the dropdown menu at the top of the page, then selecting "Generate PDF." 

Important Reminders

Sending letters does not automatically put all accommodation details into place. After letters have been sent, be sure to:

  • Discuss your accommodation requests with the associated faculty/staff
  • Complete any remaining steps as necessary (see Activate Your Accommodations page for details).
  • Contact SLDS with any questions or concerns

Does your course have a Course Coordinator? The accommodations of some common courses are managed partially or entirely by a course coordinator. It is important for you to know these contacts and follow up as needed with them. Please review the Contacts for Coordinated Courses page for more information.

Need to make changes to your request? Once you have generated a Course Accessibility Letter, you will not be able to generate a revised letter without approval from SLDS. Approval typically takes one business day to process.
