Sending Accommodations - Each Semester

Each semester, students will need to send approved accommodations to professors for each class the student wishes to receive accommodations in. Follow the steps below to send accommodations:

Students enrolled in CU Boulder courses through the Engineering Partnership Program will find different steps further down on this page for sending accommodations. 

  1. Once logged into AIM, you will select Add Requests for courses under your Accommodation Requests on your AIM dashboard.
    • If there are no courses listed please contact the EAS office
    • If it is your first time logging into AIM you will need to sign any required forms on your dashboard (a copy of the forms will be emailed to you)
  2. Under 'Accommodation Requests' select the box for each of the courses you wish to use your accommodations in.
    • If a course is not listed after just being added, please give the system at least 24 hours to update before trying again. 
  3. You will select the button 'Continue to Next Step'
  4. Select the accommodations you want to use in each class or 'Select All'.
    • Note, Testing Accommodations must be selected individually. 
  5. Check the box saying "I am authorizing my approved accommodations to be sent..." and select 'Submit Request'
  6. EAS will email your Faculty Accommodation Memo to your professor(s). The email to faculty will be sent as close to the class start date as possible or as soon as the student's request is received. After it is sent (which can take up to 48 hours), you can view a copy of your letter in "My Mailbox"

Things to Know:

  • Please follow up with your professor(s) to confirm the Faculty Accommodation Memo has been received. Meet with your professor at the beginning of the semester to discuss your accommodations and any needed exam arrangements
  • If you decide to add a course or change a course you will just need to follow the steps again to have your accommodations sent to the new professors
  • Please contact EAS at 970-248-1856 or stop by the EAS office for help or questions on the process

Sending Accommodations to Enrolled CU Boulder Courses

Students registered with the CMU/CU Boulder Engineering Partnership Program that want to utilize previously approved accommodations with EAS in CU Boulder registered courses should follow the steps below. EAS will continue to communicate with the student and faculty via their CMU credentials, rather than CU Boulder emails.

  1. Once logged into AIM, the dashboard will include a box labeled Available Signup List. From this dropdown menu, select the Signup for the current term: TERM YEAR CU/CMU Engineering Partnership Accommodation Request. 
    • If you do not see the Available Signup List, email EAS that you are now enrolled in CU Boulder courses and want to utilize accommodations. 
  2. Continue through the Signup answering all questions. 
    • Providing accurate course information will increase the speed of your request.
  3. Once you submit the Signup, EAS will be notified of your request and begin the process of manually entering your CU Boulder registered courses into AIM.
    • AIM does not sync with CU Boulder software so it is necessary for EAS staff to obtain course information to add it to AIM to notify CU Boulder faculty. 
  4. After courses have been added, EAS staff will send Faculty Accommodation Memos to the requested faculty and the student will receive a copy of the requested accommodations. 
    • Implementation of the accommodations should not change from previous EAS accommodation usage from this point forward for the courses.
