Looking Ahead to Fall 2019
Fall classes will start on August 28th and we want you to be prepared! Check out the reminders below to help you have a great start to the fall semester!
Apply for the SSD Student Advisory Committee!
SSD needs students to serve on the 2019-2020 SSD Advisory Committee! We rely on student feedback and input to help improve SSD policies, procedures and programming. For more information click here. Applications are due August 16th.
Requesting Accommodation Letters
SSD will start to process Accommodation Letters for Fall 2019 starting on August 21st. Be sure to submit your Accommodation Letter Request so you have your letters in the first few weeks of class. As a reminder, instructors will have the option of using the SSD Instructor Portal to help coordinate accommodations. Read more about the features of the SSD Instructor Portal: SSD Web Portal.
Course Load Reduction/Full Time Status
If you are approved for the CLR Accommodation and plan to take less than full time amount of hours and need full time status email your coordinator with the following information: 1) the UT college/school you are enrolled in 2) how many hours you plan to take, 3) who needs to be notified about full time status (Office of Financial Aid, Campus Employment, Campus Housing, etc.). Your coordinator then will draft and send letters to the appropriate offices to verify your full time status. Want more information? Visit the CLR page of our website.
Mark your Calendar: Accommodation Orientation August 28th and Sept. 5th
Get your semester off to a successful start by exploring topics that will empower you to effectively use your accommodation at UT. Connect with other students, hear from a panel of current UT students, learn to use SSD’s Web Portal, and much more! RSVP at this link.
