EIU Office of Accessibility and Accommodations

Accommodation Letter Procedures

• Current students should log in to the A&A portal each semester to send a letter to each of their instructors electronically
  • Students can sign in using their EIU ID and password (do NOT include "@eiu.edu" on the EIU ID)
  • Follow these steps:
    • Select the "Accommodation" tab at the top of the page
    • On the next page, observe the list of instructors next to checkboxes. Select each instructor that should receive the accommodation letter. It is the student's choice which instructors receive the letter
    • Utilize the space beneath the instructor list to communicate with the instructors if desired. The A&A strongly suggests scheduling a follow-up meeting with instructors
    • Select the "Email" button on the bottom of the page
    • If a copy of the letter is desired, a student may select "Print" to either print or download the letter
• Instructors must be given a minimum of one week to prepare for testing accommodations when possible
• If a student is not being accommodated or is experiencing difficulty and would like to have additional accommodations considered, they need to contact A&A right away
• Students should let A&A know if they have issues or concerns as they happen. This can help prevent more difficult issues from occurring.
• For students with temporary accommodations, please note that these are only applicable to one semester
