How to Register with D&A

Students can register with D&A at any point during the year. Incoming students are encouraged to begin early so accommodations can be in place by the first day of class.

Start Early

Submitting documentation early helps prevent delays and ensures you are ready to schedule your intake appointment as soon as your window opens.

Incoming Fall Students
  1. Submit documentation: As soon as you accept admission
  2. Intake scheduling opens: Late May
  3. Intake appointments begin: June
Incoming Spring Students
  1. Submit documentation: As soon as you accept admission
  2. Intake scheduling opens: Late December
  3. Intake appointments begin: January

Currently enrolled students can submit documentation and schedule an intake appointment throughout the semester.

Step 1: Review the Documentation Guidelines

Before submitting anything, make sure your materials meet D&A requirements.

Step 2: Submit Your Documentation

Submit your documentation to D&A as soon as you are ready.

Include:
  • Student’s name
  • EID
  • Email
  • Phone number
Where to Submit:
  • Email: access@austin.utexas.edu
  • Fax: 512-475-7730
  • In Person: Student Services Building (SSB) 3.200G

All disability-related information is kept confidential and shared only on an educational need-to-know basis.

Step 3: After Submitting

Once D&A receives your documentation:

  1. Review: D&A reviews your materials and will contact you if anything additional is needed.
  2. Scheduling: If your documentation is sufficient to register, you’ll receive instructions on how to book your appointment.
  3. Intake Appointment: You’ll meet with a coordinator to discuss your access needs and determine appropriate accommodations.
  4. After Your Appointment: Request accommodation letters for your instructors through the D&A Student Portal.

Planning ahead is important. Incoming students are encouraged to submit documentation soon after accepting admission, and current students may submit materials at any time.
