Academic accommodations are not provided automatically by the University. Students must choose to disclose their disability and apply for DASS services.
New and current CSUCI students are welcome to apply for DASS Academic Accommodations at any time. Please note that processing times may vary. Applications submitted during the final two weeks of a semester may be reviewed and implemented in the following semester to allow sufficient time for review and coordination.

Steps to Apply for Academic Accommodations
Step 1: Gather your Supporting Documentation
- Visit the Academic Accommodations Documentation webpage for information about required documentation used to determine academic accommodations.
- Applications submitted without documentation will be placed on hold and forms completed by students will not be reviewed.
Step 2: Submit the Academic Accommodations Application
- Students who did not submit supporting documentation with their application may submit
it using one of the following methods:
- Email: accommodations@csuci.edu
- In person: Arroyo Hall, Second Floor
- Fax: 805-437-8529
Step 3: Meet with a DASS Counselor
- DASS will contact the student to schedule a new student registration appointment once their application is considered complete.
- Please Note: Academic Accommodations and Housing Accommodations have two different application processes. For DASS Housing Accommodations, students are encouraged to apply by the deadline.
Step 4: Activate your Academic Accommodations
- Academic accommodations are approved by a DASS counselor and do not require reapplication each academic year.
- Students must activate accommodations each semester through the DASS Portal to notify DASS and faculty of accommodation needs.
- Watch the video tutorial to learn: How to Activate Your Accommodations in the DASS Portal.
- To avoid delays in receiving support, accommodations must be activated for each enrolled course as soon as class registration is complete.
