Getting Started
Wherever you are in your academic journey, please follow the process below to start receiving accommodations for disability-related barriers. This process is for any student seeking accommodations, including, but not limited to:
- incoming first-year students
- current students
- online only students
- extended campus students
- concurrent enrollment or PSEO students
The Process
Students with disabilities do not have to report or identify themselves to Accessibility Resources unless they want to request accommodations for disability barriers. To get started with the accommodation process:
- Log into MavAccess with your Star ID and complete the New Student Application. We will then contact you to schedule a meeting with our staff.
OR
- Schedule an intake meeting with staff in Accessibility Resources by:
- Calling 507-389-2825.
- Emailing ar@mnsu.edu.
- Stopping by Accessibility Resources in Memorial Library 132.
Please note: You may be asked to provide documentation of your disability to help determine eligibility for accommodations. If you already have documentation, you can upload it to MavAccess, email it to us at ar@mnsu.edu, have your provider fax it to us at 507-389-1199, or bring it with you to your scheduled meeting. We also have templates available on our website that you can give to your provider if you prefer. If you don’t have documentation, and if it is needed, we will help you at the initial meeting.
Detailed information about what we seek in this paperwork can be found within our Documentation Guidelines. Any information or documentation regarding the disability is kept confidential.
