Faculty: Online Portal Instructions for Accommodations Letters

The SAS centralized database has web features that allow students to request accommodation letters online. The student request automatically sends an email notification to course faculty. The message contains a link to an online portal where faculty can review the letters, organized by course or alphabetically by student name. If faculty have questions about utilizing this portal please reach out to [email protected].

For TA/staff access: If a faculty member would like their TA or departmental staff to have access to accommodation letters via the online system, please email the below information to [email protected] after a student has requested accommodations in your course. SEAS can manually grant the TA/staff person access to all student letters for the course.

Course code (ex. CLPS 1234)
TA/Staff Name and Email address
Brown ID number or Brown username
Name of one student in the course who has requested accommodations.

Coming Soon: SAS is working with OIT toward adding additional functionality to make organizing accommodations easier. We are working on a tool where faculty will be able to complete an online form and receive a spreadsheet aggregating student names by accommodation types for individual courses. SAS is aiming to to make managing course accommodations for students as efficient as possible. When this new tool is available we will publicize it widely.
