Step 3: Accommodation Intake Meeting

Once you have submitted Accommodation Registration Intake Form and your supportive documentation, DSS will work with you to schedule an accommodation intake meeting.

At the Meeting

At the Meeting, you and the DSS Director will work together in the following ways:

  • The DSS Director will review information submitted on your intake form and documentation with you
  • You will be able to share, in your own words, information about your history with your disability, how it impacts you, and any accommodations you have received in the past
    • The DSS Director may ask you specific questions about your experiences (academic, housing, dining, etc.), related to impacts of your diagnosis.
  • The DSS Director will discuss what accommodations are available based on your individualized case
  • The DSS Director will share possible strategies and academic adjustments that can be used to accommodate you at Trinity.
  • Please note: students may wish to bring a family member or advocate to their intake appointment. We respect this choice, recognizing the importance of support systems. However, students should be ready to provide information and answer questions themselves, taking the lead during the appointment, even if family members contribute additional details.

Once your registration is complete and following the meeting, the DSS Director will email your letter to you and each of your professors for the term.

    • If you change your schedule and need your letter sent to a new professor for an added/changed class, contact DSS as soon as possible. DSS is not alerted to schedule changes, so it your (the student’s) responsibility to inform DSS when a change occurs so that your letter can be sent.

Once you are registered with DSS and have assigned accommodations, you will request your letter and request services each semester.
