Accommodations and Services

Mission College facilitates equal access through reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. We arrange accommodations on an individual basis for each eligible student with a disability during the intake/eligibility process.

How to Request Accommodations and Services

Sending Your Academic Accommodation Plan (AAP) to your Instructors

The Mission College Academic Accommodation Plan (AAP) is a confidential document outlining a student’s accommodation or adjustments approved to support the student in a course. Students will be able to access their AAP after their DSPS Intake through our online DSPS portal AIM.

DSPS students are responsible for sending their AAP to their instructors for each course for each semester. Students can notify their instructors of their accommodations through our online DSPS portal AIM. We recommend students send their accommodations at least 1 week before the semester starts.

Please contact DSPS for support accessing your accommodations or sending your accommodations to your instructors.

Please Note: Accommodations are not retroactive. While students can apply for or send their accommodations anytime during the semester, please keep in mind accommodations begin only after you have completed the DSPS New Student Intake process AND you have sent out your accommodations to your instructors.

Below is a video demonstration of how to send your accommodations our online DSPS portal AIM.
