Disability Services Portal Transition
Disability Services is continuing the transition to AIM, our student-facing accommodation management system. As we complete this transition, you may notice updates to our website and processes. Thank you for your patience during this period.
Please use AIM for your accommodation-related needs. If you have questions or need assistance during this transition, please contact your Access Coordinator or the Disability Services front office at dsinfo@colorado.edu (303-492-8671). Please do not attempt to log in to the previous accommodation management system, Accommodate Portal.
With AIM, students can:
- Manage accommodation letters
- Submit accommodation requests
- Request appointments with their Access Coordinator after completing the registration process
- Access accommodation-related services and resources
