Review and Confirm your Accommodations
All students registered with Student Accessibility Services (SAS) must review and confirm their accommodations at the start of each semester.
This can be completed through the Accommodations - Review and Confirm module in ClockWork.
In this module, you will review your approved accommodations and select which accommodations you would like to use in each of your courses for the current semester.
Completing this step is required each term. Until your accommodations have been reviewed and confirmed, you will not have access to:
- Scheduling tests, quizzes, and exams
- Requesting notetaking
- Requesting alternate format textbooks and course materials
