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.

Step 3: After Submitting
Once D&A receives your documentation:
- Review: D&A reviews your materials and will contact you if anything additional is needed.
- Scheduling: If your documentation is sufficient to register, you’ll receive instructions on how to book your appointment.
- Intake Appointment: You’ll meet with a coordinator to discuss your access needs and determine appropriate accommodations.
- 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.
