Meet with your advisor

Students must complete an intake appointment with their advisor to discuss the accommodation process. After receiving confirmation that your registration has been processed and you have been assigned an advisor, please call 608.785.6900 or email your advisor directly to schedule a time that is convenient for you.

Meet with your Instructors

After you have requested accommodations and instructors have been notified, it is important to meet with your instructors to discuss your accommodations in their class.
- If you have testing accommodations, this is a good time to fill out the Testing Contract online, which is required in order to schedule any exams for your class. A separate testing contract is required for each class that you plan to use testing accommodations in.
