The University of Wyoming Disability Support Services (DSS) offers an innovative AIM portal designed to streamline communication and accommodation management for students, faculty, and staff. This user-friendly platform allows students to easily connect with coordinators, apply for and manage their accommodations, and access essential resources. Faculty and staff also benefit from the AIM portal through a dedicated login, enabling them to efficiently oversee and support the accommodations process. By providing tailored logins for students and staff, the AIM portal ensures a seamless, accessible, and organized approach to disability support, enhancing the educational experience for all members of the university community.
Registering for services and meeting with a coordinator is easy. Fill out our Registration form by clicking the link below. After you register, we will follow up with you on next steps. If you have any documentation, you are welcome to attach that to your registration form, send it directly to our office at udss@uwyo.edu, or deliver to Knight Hall 109.
Accommodations are determined through an individualized and interactive process. We focus on barriers (not diagnosis) that impact a student’s ability to learn or access services at the University of Wyoming. Our office approves accommodations related to housing, classroom, and other campus supports. We collaborate with faculty in the administration of course exams with accommodations. Our testing team can answer questions related to exam accommodations for in-person exams.
Once you register, we will send you an email within 3 business days with next steps. You will then know who your coordinator will be and how to schedule a meeting. During that meeting your coordinator will discuss your course schedule, potential accommodations and any additional information that is needed.
Your coordinator will then work with you to create a tailored accommodation plan for you and your courses. They will also work with you to communicate this plan to your faculty. Throughout the semester, we will send out information and reminders to you, and you are always welcome to check in with your coordinator with questions or if you need any other support. While you only need to register once, you will need to renew accommodations each semester.
Accommodations do not automatically roll-over semester to semester. Students must connect with their coordinator to re-issue accommodation letters each semester. Students looking to change or update their accommodations will need to connect with their DSS coordinator.
Documentation is paperwork from a medical professional that provides verification of a disability and its impacts. Documentation is used to support the individualized process and determination of reasonable accommodations by providing details of past accommodations or current diagnostic outcomes to our coordinators.
Documentation is important, but not required to begin a conversation with our office. If you are working to get documentation, we still encourage you to register with our office. We can then talk through next steps, potential accommodations, and what specific information we will need to implement services.
