Navigating the DASS Link Menu

The Accommodation drop-down menu leads to a number of useful DASS Link pages.

Accessibility Request allows you to view your initial request for accommodations and a list of your currently authorized accommodations. 

Supplemental is where you can request new accommodations and services in addition to the ones you already have. This is also where you'll make a request to renew an accommodation that requires an update or has expired. (INSTRUCTIONS)

Semester Request is where you'll need to go before each new semester to renew your accommodations and request updated accommodation letters for your new instructors. You can use the Semester Request 2 weeks before classes start. (INSTRUCTIONS)

Accommodation Letters contains a list of all of your accommodation letters, as well as system messages and alerts sent to you from DASS Link. You can also sign your Accommodation Letters here. (INSTRUCTIONS)

Equipment is not used by DASS. DASS does not loan assistive devices or equipment at this time.

Documents lets you see all of the supporting documents you have uploaded to DASS Link, as well as those uploaded on your behalf by DASS staff members. This is also where you'll upload new documents, if needed. (INSTRUCTIONS)

The Appointment tab is where you can request an appointment with the Director, your Coordinator, or the Learning Specialist here at DASS. (INSTRUCTIONS)

Here, you can view "Student Documents" that you may have uploaded, but not "Accessibility Documents." To view and upload documents to DASS Link, please select Documents in the Accommodation drop-down menu instead of this tab.

The Resource Library contains useful forms, like the flexible attendance agreements and course substitution paperwork.
