Directions for requesting accommodations can be found on the Accommodation and Notification Services page. If you have requested accommodations and did not check this checkbox you can choose to Modify Request in the AIM Student Portal. If you are not logged in already, you must do so using your CSU ID and password.

Step 2: confirm the request for notetaking services

Requests for Notetaking Services must be confirmed in either the AIM Student Portal or by click ing Yes, I need notes in one of the confirmation request e-mails sent to your CSU e-mail. All requests must be confirmed within 2 weeks of the start of a class or the request will be automatically cancelled. If you do not request your accommodations until after the semester starts, the two week period will start from when you request your accommodations.

If the request is not confirmed by the end of the second week the request is automatically cancelled. At that point you will need to speak with your Disability Specialist in our office to reinstate the request.
