Apply for Academic Accommodations

About Disability-Related Academic Support

• 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 last two weeks of the semester will be applied the following semester to allow enough time for review and proper setup.
• Accommodations are not given automatically by the University. Students must choose to share their disability and are responsible for applying for DASS services.
• Learn the different types of Academic Accommodations

Apply for Academic Accommodations 

Step 1: Gather your Supporting Documentation

• Before starting your application, make sure to gather supporting documentation that verifies your disability.
• Applications without documentation will be placed on hold, and medical forms completed by students will not be reviewed.

Step 2: Submit the Academic Accommodations Application

• If you did not submit your supporting documentation with your application, email it to accommodations@csuci.eduas soon as possible.

Step 3: Meet with a DASS Counselor to review your application.

• DASS will contact you to schedule a new student registration meeting once your application is complete.
• 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

• Once you've completed Step 3, you're officially registered with DASS and do not need to reapply during your time at CSUCI. 
• Each semester, you will activate your academic accommodations in the DASS Portal.
  1. Watch the video tutorial: How to Activate Your Accommodations in the DASS Portal.
  2. We recommend activating accommodations for each class you're enrolled in as soon as you register to avoid delays in receiving support.
