Final exam requests are due by Sunday, Nov. 15 for students.
Faculty: Please plan on having your final exam dates in AIM available to students as soon as possible and inform your students when the finals date is available to request. Please note: space is extremely limited during finals and is likely to reach capacity before the deadline. Please make alternative plans for your students with 1.5x extended time and Distraction Reduced Environment accommodations.
Students: Confirm with your instructors if the Student Testing Center is needed. Submit your final exam date requests by Sunday, Nov. 15.
Temporary Office Closure: Nov. 20-25
The Disability Services office (N200) will be physically closed Nov. 20-25 due to facility improvements. Disability Services will remain operational remotely during this time, and staff will continue to be available by email, phone and virtual meetings for assistance.
Students, faculty and staff may continue to contact Disability Services through the office's regular email and phone channels. In-person services in N200 will resume after the closure.
Accommodate Portal for Faculty
Disability Services is excited to introduce a new software program called Accommodate to help manage accommodation requests and implementations. Here’s everything you need to know about this new program.
What is Accommodate
Accommodate is a software program that features student and faculty portals. This program is intended to ease and streamline the accommodation management process for students, staff and faculty.
How to get started
Accommodate will automatically generate accommodation letters for students once they have been approved through the Disability Services office. Faculty will receive an email notification via their CU Boulder email account for each accommodation letter that is generated for their course(s).
Faculty can also sign into Accommodate using their CU Boulder IdentiKey and password. Once signed in, you will be able to review all student accommodations for each of your courses. Check out the Faculty User Guide for assistance logging in to Accommodate.
We encourage students and faculty to review accommodation letters together in order to determine how to effectively implement accommodations in each class.
Faculty expectations
As in previous semesters, students are expected to schedule a (virtual) meeting with faculty to discuss their accommodations. During this meeting, implementation plans for accommodations are established. Make sure the agreement is clear to both of you. Faculty are expected to clarify and/or confirm testing accommodations with students prior to each exam.
Workshops and questions
We encourage you to sign up for a workshop for more information about how to use Accommodate. If you have any additional questions, please contact dsinfo@colorado.edu.
