My Dashboard

You may be prompted to complete required forms when you first use your dashboard. Before you will be able to access other areas of myAccess, you will need to read these forms carefully and electronically sign them (refer to the tutorial in the “Logging in to myAccess for the First Time” section). In the My Dashboard tab you will be able to generate your Accommodation Notification Letters in PDF format for each of your courses, review all of the accommodations you have requested for the current semester by class, view any release forms you have completed, and any other important information that may pertain to you.

SMS (Text Messaging)

myAccess can send you automatic text message reminders about:
