Review your syllabi at the beginning of the semester. Look at the requirements of each of your classes and consider your disability-related needs. Some accommodations may not be necessary for every class.

Contact your instructors (or the accommodations point-of-contact for a coordinated course). In this conversation, you do not need to disclose the specific nature of your disability.
Follow applicable procedures for your accommodations, as described on their respective pages.
Keep in touch. Communicate with your instructors and Access Specialist throughout the semester.
