Activate Accommodations

Overview

Students activate the accommodations they wish to use in each of their classes each quarter.  Some students wish to use different accommodations in different classes, so students have the autonomy to customize their accommodations to their classes as they see fit.  
 

How to activate approved accommodations for classes

  1. Login to MyDAC with your Western Universal Username and Password

  2. Select the "plus sign" on the dashboard to "add requests for classes."  

    Under Accommodation Requests Fall 2025 reads "0 number of requests," then a plus sign button to "add requests for 3 classes."

     

  3. Check the box next to each class for which you intend to activate accommodations. Some accommodations require you to read and complete e-form agreements.
  4. Here, you can choose which accommodations you wish to use in each class.  There is an option to select them all, or just select specific ones. 
  5. Then, select the checkbox that says "I am requesting disability accommodations for this term.  I understand it is my responsibility to follow up with faculty and discuss how my accommodations apply to each course" and then select "Submit Request."  That will put your faculty notifications in the queue for the next round of notifications that are sent out daily.
  6. Talk to your instructor about your accommodation(s) and discuss how they will apply in each course.
