New System for SSD Accommodation Letters

Beginning with the summer term, 2020, the SHSU Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) will be using a new data management program to disseminate Accommodation Letters to instructors. For each student who has requested accommodations for a given course, the Banner instructor of record will receive an e-mail from disability@shsu.edu. The e-mail will contain a link to a secure SHSU website from which the instructor can view and acknowledge receipt of the student’s Accommodation Letter. Upon clicking the link, the instructor will be prompted to enter their SHSU user name and password in order to access the letter. SSD requests that the instructor view and acknowledge receipt of the letter on the secure site. The student will be copied on the e-mail, which will also contain a link for the student to view the letter. As a back up, a .pdf file of the letter will be attached to the e-mail in case the instructor or student is unable to access their respective links.

An added feature of the new system will be an Instructor Portal from which instructors can view students with disabilities who have requested accommodations for their courses and the Accommodation Letters issued by SSD for these students. The Instructor Portal will be available from the SSD homepage (https://www.shsu.edu/dept/disability/) by the start of the Summer I session.
