Welcome! How to Get Connected with SSD:
Step 1: Complete the Student Initial Information Form:
- A note to newly admitted students: Only complete the form once you have received a UMID number and U-M email address.
- Please note that you should not delay meeting with us due to documentation concerns. Our first priority is meeting with you. Your coordinator will discuss appropriate documentation during your Welcome Meeting.
- Please review our Helpful Documentation Guidelines. Documentation can be securely uploaded by the student in Accommodate. When this is not possible, it can also be submitted via fax at 734-936-3947, emailed directly to your Coordinator, or to [email protected].
Step 2: Schedule a Welcome Meeting
- After submitting your Initial Information Form, if you are requesting academic accommodations only, you will receive an email from SSD with a link to schedule your Welcome Meeting with your assigned coordinator. If you are only requesting housing accommodations, you will receive an email regarding specific next steps depending on the nature of your request. If you request academic and housing accommodations, you will receive relevant next-step information related to each request.
- Meetings can be held virtually or in-person.
- IMPORTANT: Please note emails from SSD will only be sent to your Umich email. Monitor your account for important updates and information.
Step 3: Welcome Meeting
- During this meeting your coordinator will talk with you about disability-related barriers you may be experiencing, any history of accommodations, will explore reasonable accommodations, and discuss next steps.
- Coordinator may request additional documentation if needed.
