To get your accommodation letter you must be a registered DSS Student. See Apply Now on our main page if you have not yet registered with DSS.
Accommodation letters are sent automatically to each DSS student’s OTC email every semester.
Summer 2022 letters went out on or about June 1-2, 2022. Please check your email first to be sure you did not already receive your letter before you place a request.
*Since this feature is not yet available, you’ll need to contact DSS if you did not receive your letter.
When a student is dissatisfied with any academic accommodations, the fastest process for resolving the issue is to directly contact the student’s DSS Counselor. You can call 417-447-8189 or email Disability Services to schedule an appointment.
A student may pursue informal resolution of a complaint by emailing the DSS Director Jeff Jones or by scheduling a meeting to discuss the issue and explore possible avenues of resolution.
If a satisfactory solution cannot be reached, the student may initiate formal resolution by following the procedures for OTC Resolution described in our Grievance Procedures.
