Implementing Accommodations
Once your Access Coordinator has approved your accommodation(s), you are registered with ODAI as a student with approved disability accommodation(s). Your accommodation(s) will remain in effect for the duration of your time at CU Anschutz. Your Faculty Notification Memo, which was sent to you upon the approval of your accommodations, reflects all of your approved accommodations. If you ever feel as though your accommodations are not effective or need to be modified, you are always welcome to schedule an appointment with your access coordinator to discuss your situation. If your accommodations need to be modified for any reason, you will be issued a new FNM. If you need a copy of your FNM, email disabilityaccess@cuanschutz.edu.
As a student with accommodations, in most cases, you are responsible for informing faculty in each of your courses of your accommodations each term.
