The Disability Resource Center (DRC) coordinates academic accommodations, which are determined on a case-by-case basis. Accommodations can vary based on your needs and course design.
Sometimes your professors or their TAs will provide you with accommodations. In such cases, the DRC will work with you and our faculty partners to ensure smooth coordination of the accommodations.
For an online learning environment, the accommodations are coordinated through the DRC. We work directly with your course instructor and the FIU Online instructional designers to make sure all possible measures for accessibility are taken.
Preparing for your Welcome Appointment
Your first step in affiliating with the DRC is to schedule a welcome appointment available in person, by phone or via Zoom. To schedule your appointment, email drc@fiu.edu or call 305-348-3532.
At your appointment, you’ll meet with one of our access consultants to talk about your needs, medical history, diagnosis and possible academic accommodations and fill out the following forms:
How to Activate Your Accommodations
Each semester, whether you're on campus or fully online, you can choose to request or decline academic accommodations.
- Log in to FIU Access Resource Manager using your FIU credentials.
- Click LTP (Letter to Professor) in the top right corner.
- Select your classes and enter the names of any faculty or TAs manually.
- Click Send Notifications once your classes are selected and all information is fully updated. You’ll receive a confirmation email.
- Check your FIU email to make sure your notices were sent. If you don’t see the notifications in your inbox, check your junk or spam folders.
For more information, email drc@fiu.edu or call 305-348-3532.
This process does not apply to students in the College of Law, College of Medicine or FIU Embrace. FIU Law and FIU Medicine students should contact Stephen Loynaz at loynazs@fiu.edu for accommodations.
