Student Accommodations
Not sure what kind of accommodation you need? Our advisors will work with you during the interactive process to determine what may be helpful based on the barriers you are experiencing.
Information about certain types of accommodations are located here:
Academic (classroom) Accommodations
Requesting Accommodations
Students benefit most from accommodations when they are requested well in advance to the start of each academic year or semester, depending on the type of accommodation requested. Accommodations are not retroactive, and will begin once your faculty and SDAC authorize the accommodation.
If this is your first time requesting accommodations, please refer to the Getting Started page.
If you have received accommodations from SDAC before, please request continuing accommodations directly in AIM, or schedule an appointment for any changes or new accommodations you may need.
If your Request is Denied
If an accommodation request is denied, SDAC will clearly state the reason for the denial and provide actions the student needs to take for reconsideration. More information, please see the CSUMB Fundamental Alteration Process.
Student Responsibilities
The student with accommodations is responsible for meeting with faculty during office hours (or to consult online or via phone) in a timely manner to discuss their accommodations as outlined in the accommodation letter the student, and faculty, receive directly from SDAC. This should be arranged within the first few days of receiving the letter.
Students should notify SDAC immediately if:
- An instructor, department or program is not fulfilling your authorized accommodation.
- You do not need your requested accommodations any longer.
- You drop the course or withdraw from CSU Monterey Bay.
