Registering with Disability Access Services

 

If you are an UMSL student and have a documented disability, Disability Access Services can help you obtain the accommodations you need in order to be successful in your courses. First, you have to become registered with our office. You can do this at any time during the semester, but we recommend doing it before classes start.

If you are a new student to Disability Access Services, please follow the step-by-step instructions below. These steps are also included on the Student Checklist.

____ 1.  Complete a Disability Access Services (DAS) Application and Registration Form.

____ 2.  Arrange for medical documentation to be provided to DAS. DAS can assist you in signing a release and faxing it to your medical professional.
