Contact My Access Specialist

Your Access Specialist is assigned to you based on your academic college/major. Refer to the table below to find your Access Specialist's information. You can contact your Access Specialist by emailing them or scheduling a follow-up appointment.

Follow-up Meetings:

Examples of reasons to schedule a follow-up meeting include adjusting accommodations, housing questions, accommodation implementation concerns, and working with your Access Specialist regarding an ongoing matter. Other matters that would go beyond the 10-minute time limit of a drop-in should be discussed during a follow-up meeting.

Drop-in Consultations:

Drop-in consultations for students, faculty, staff, and guests can be conducted via phone or in person for Autumn 2025. Drop-in hours are Monday-Friday from 10a-1p and 2p-4p. Some staff may visit with you virtually even if you are on-site if they are working remotely that day.

Drop-ins are intended to provide you with an opportunity to speak with an Access Specialist about time-sensitive matters. They are limited to 10-15 minutes and are intended for issues that can be resolved quickly.
Some examples of appropriate drop-in topics include technical issues with AIM, urgent temporary accommodations, questions about documentation or next steps in the application process, or faculty consultations.
Your drop-in request may not be resolved same day.
You must be in the queue 15 minutes prior to the end of the consult times.
