How to Request Academic Accommodations through AIM

Each semester after registering for classes, you must request your accommodations by logging into AIM. Use your Willamette ID and Password to log into AIM via this link.

After logging in, make sure you are in the “My Dashboard” tab.

Scroll down to the section titled “Select Accommodations for Your Class” to find your current registered classes with Willamette. If you do not see a course you believe you are registered for, check the “Important Notes” in the yellow box above your classes. Please contact our office if you need assistance at (503)-370-6737.

Follow these three steps to request accommodations:

1. Under “Step 1: Select Class(es),” select the classes for which you wish to use accommodations by checking each course’s corresponding box (see the screenshot above). Remember that accommodations may not be required for all classes, such as fitness classes.
2. Click “Step 2: Continue to Customize Your Accommodations” to begin selecting accommodations for each class. If you have multiple accommodations available, they will all be displayed on this screen under each individual course you have selected (for example, in the screenshot below, the student is eligible for “Alternative Testing” and Notetaking Services." Please note:
   1. 1. “Alternative Testing” will appear as one of your accommodations if you are eligible for one or more testing accommodations (e.g., 1.5x extra time, 2.0x extra time, calculator, use of computer, reduced distraction or private room, etc). Your specific testing accommodation(s) will be listed in your Faculty Notification Letter.
      2. Similarly, “Notetaking Services” will appear if you are eligible for one or more notetaking accommodations (e.g., Glean). Your Faculty Notification Letter will list your specific notetaking accommodation(s).
      3. All other accommodations will appear individually for selection.
      4. In some cases, customized accommodations will not be requestable and will automatically appear on the notification letter.

   

3. When you have finished selecting your accommodations for each of your classes, click the “Submit Your Accommodation Requests” button at the bottom of the page. This will submit your request for accommodations to the AES office for approval. Once approved, AES will email your Faculty Notification Letter to both you and your professors. At that time, your accommodations for the current semester will be listed on the “My Dashboard” tab. 

If you have any difficulty with these steps or have questions, please contact AES by calling (503)-370- 6737, emailing accessible-info@willamette.edu, or visiting us in Smullin 155.
