Student Guidance
Follow these steps to set up your accommodations using the Access Plan
1. Look for email notifications from access@dickinson.edu the week prior to the start of each semester* letting you know when your Access Plan cards will be ready and how to confirm your understanding of the Access Plan process.
2. Complete your "Access Plan Confirmation of Understanding"
(For this, go to the Gateway, then CLIQ, then Form Center. The form is in the dropdown for "Access and Disability Services Forms.")
3. Edit and disclose to your professors your Access Plan following the below process applicable for you:
- Instructions for students WITH test-taking accommodations
(This includes entering all test dates in your Access Plan before meeting with your professors.) - Instructions for students WITHOUT test-taking accommodations
4. Click the "Request a Meeting" button in your Access Plan to schedule your accommodation planning meetings with each professor. (Using the button provides a record for the pofessor and ADS that you made this request.)
5. Meet with each professor to review your Access Plans.
Take your laptop, if you have one. If you and your professor decide that changes are needed, be prepared to revise and update your Access Plan during your meeting.
6. Ensure, before concluding your meeting, that your professor has:
(a) "Acknowledged" all of the accommodations that conveyed that you "Will Use" or Will Not Use," and
(b) Indicated (if you have test-taking accommodations) whether you will be taking tests with your profssor or with ADS.
