Differences Between High School and College | When to Contact Student Accessibility Services | How to Register | Process | Housing Accommodations
Requests for accommodations are encouraged to be submitted as soon as you have deposited with the College. This will allow enough time for us to review your request and documentation, schedule the intake meeting, and implement accommodations. Completed applications for academic accommodations submitted prior to August 1st will be in place for the start of the semester.
Fall Semester Arrival: Housing accommodation requests and documentation must be submitted through AIM by June 15 in order to receive Housing accommodations for the fall semester.
Spring Semester Arrival: Housing accommodation requests and documentation must be submitted through AIM by January 2 in order to receive Housing accommodations for the spring semester.
In order to register with Student Accessibility Services, the student must complete an application online and upload the necessary documentation through the AIM Portal (see below).
Documentation to support a disability should include information regarding the nature of your impairment or condition, your functional limitations, and any appropriate accommodations.
These forms may be used to provide information necessary to determine the following:
Documentation containing the information described above will be accepted in an alternate format.
If you are unsure if you have a disability that is impacting your learning and would like to be evaluated or need an updated neuropsychological / psychoeducational evaluation, the following resources may be of assistance. Please note that Connecticut College and the Office of Student Accessibility Services (SAS) do not endorse these providers. Verify that the providers can supply the appropriate testing and documentation before initiating services with them (see Documentation Guidelines). The information on this list is subject to change at any time.
Your pediatrician or primary care provider may also be a good resource for finding a provider near your home.
Neuropsychological Assessment - Provider Information List
Your request for registration and accommodations, as well as your documentation, will be reviewed by Student Accessibility Services. You will be required to meet or speak with someone from SAS. The Documentation Committee and the Accommodations Review Committee will review your information and you will be informed by SAS of the determinations and whether anything else is required of you at that time.
Connecticut College does not grant accommodations solely based on the recommendations of evaluators or care providers. The determination is made based on all information relevant to the documented functional limitations caused by the disability in relation to our program.
Should any student feel they have not been treated in accordance with Section 504/ADA with regard to access and accommodations, it is recommended that the student make every attempt to resolve the matter in an informal manner. Should the student choose, a formal appeal in writing may be filed with the Associate Dean for Equity and Compliance.
To register with Student Accessibility Services you must complete the online application through the Accessible Information Management (AIM) system. ***Parents and guardians may not submit applications on behalf of their child.*** Students who are currently registered with SAS will also use this portal to request Faculty Notification Letters each semester.

Understanding Housing Accommodations at a Residential College
Connecticut College requires students to live on campus in a community environment. Students with disabilities must follow the College’s housing policies and guidelines. Housing accommodations are available to ensure access to the residence and residential programming. Please consider the following when making accommodation requests:
Request for Housing Accommodation
Fall Semester Arrival: Housing accommodation requests and supporting documentation must be submitted through the AIM Portal by June 15 in order to receive Housing accommodations for the fall semester.
Spring Semester Arrival: Housing accommodation requests and supporting documentation must be submitted through the AIM Portal by January 2 in order to receive Housing accommodations for the spring semester.
Requests made after the deadline will be considered, however rooms may be limited and accommodations cannot be guaranteed.
Connecticut College Dining Services works directly with students to try to meet their dietary needs based on medical need and/or food allergies. Please contact Dining Staff's Chris Manfredi to discuss your needs. In most cases, you will be able to receive what you need based on this discussion. If necessary, Dining Services may refer you to SAS if documentation and formal approval of an accommodation is necessary.
