Initial Requests for SAS Services
To establish SAS services, students must complete the SAS Application for Services and Accommodations, provide documentation of diagnosis, and meet with an Accessibility Advocate.
Visit Accessibility Services ‒ New Students if you are new to ACC and not yet enrolled in classes, need accommodations for the TSI assessment, or want to find out more about the SAS application process.
How to Connect with SAS
If prospective or new students, faculty and staff have questions about academic accessibility at ACC can schedule a SAS Consultation with a SAS Advocate, by contacting the campus of your choice. In-person or virtual appointments are available Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Friday, from 8 a.m. to noon.
SAS Consultation
Need a quick check-in? SAS Consultations are 30-minute meetings with a SAS Advocate, designed for quick support throughout the semester. SAS Consultations can be set-up by reaching out to campus SAS advocate emails on the SAS Campus Contact page.
For Faculty, Staff and Prospective Students: Get answers to general questions regarding accessibility at ACC. Have questions about accommodations in your course, we are happy to consult with you!

Visit Accessibility Services ‒ Current Students if you already receive accommodations through SAS and would like to request semester accommodations.
SAS Connect
SAS Connect is the team that supports students submitting accommodation applications. This team is a students first contact in requesting accommodations at ACC. They are responsible for reviewing applications and documentation, and then connecting students with a SAS Advocate to schedule an initial Access Needs Meeting. SAS Connect can also support student questions about what type of documentation is needed.
Access Needs Meetings
Access Needs Meetings are for students who are enrolled at ACC, who have submitted a SAS Application and are currently experiencing an academic barrier. An Access Needs Meeting is an interactive, confidential, one-on-one session between a student and SAS Advocate to discuss functional limitations and determine reasonable accommodations. Once an Access Needs Meeting is complete students will be able to request Faculty Notification Letters (FNL) and begin utilizing approved accommodations.
