A returning student, in this context, means: a student who has already established eligibility for SAS accommodations in a past semester.
- For your first semester using SAS accommodations, part of your intake appointment will involve a discussion with the SAS specialist about the accommodation plans you want for that semester. For that semester, the SAS specialist will send out your accommodation plans to each instructor accordingly.
- In subsequent semesters, those choices cannot carry over, because you'll be taking completely different courses with different instructors.
Every semester, for every course, you have the right and responsibility to choose which accommodations you want to use, out of those for which you’re eligible. You do this by making accommodation requests in the SAS portal, or by meeting with an SAS specialist.
The SAS portal will only send accommodation plans to the courses you request, and will only include the eligibilities you select for each specific course.
