Disability Services for Students

Renewal Process

It is the student's responsibility to request and submit all necessary documentation for their academic accommodations each semester (Fall, Wintermester, Spring, Maymester and Summer Sessions I, II, III).

• Students are responsible for requesting renewal of accommodations. If there has been no change in the student’s disability status, and there are no adjustments requested to last semester's accommodation, each student can log into Accessible Information Management (AIM) portal to Renew their Academic Accommodations for the current semester.

1. Once logged into AIM, you will view your registered courses for the current semester.
2. Please check off each course you would like to request accommodations.
3. Click "Continue to Customize Your Accommodations".
4. Now, select the accommodations needed for each individual course.
5. Once reviewed, click "Submit Your Accommodations Requests". Please expect 3 to 5 business days for approval.

If student's disability status has changed and/or adjustments to current academic accommodation(s) are requested.

1. Please contact the DSS Office to review requested adjustments or modifications as soon as possible.  Further documentation may be required.
2. New or updated documentation supporting the request for changes or alterations to the current accommodations will be required. Please upload your new documentation into the AIM Portal.
3. Once all required documents have been completed and submitted, another meeting may be required to review the new documentation and the additional academic accommodations requested.
4. These new accommodations will then be added to your AIM Profile.
5. Follow the above mentioned steps to request your new accommodations for your courses.

• Supportive (disability-related) documentation should provide information about the functional impact of the disability on academic performance in an effort to provide students with the most appropriate accommodations (see Documentation Requirements).

Students can always reach out to the office of Disability Services for Students office for questions. Please contact us at 956-326-3086, or email us at disabilityservices@tamiu.edu, you may also stop by the Student Center 124.
