Getting Started

The below information is for students who have not previously worked with the Student Disability Center. 

Welcome to the Student Disability Center we are excited to work with you. The first step in the process of requesting accommodations is to submit a new SDC student application. This application allows you to provide information that will help our staff better understand your accommodation requests. You can submit an application through the link below.  

Please note: in order to submit a new SDC student application you have to have an active CSU NetID and password. If you do not have an active NetID and password, please contact our office to schedule an appointment to meet with one of our accommodation specialists.  

Submit a New SDC Student Application
  • Sign into the SDC Student Portal using your CSU NetID and password.
  • The first page of the application is the “overview” page. This page provides basic information on the application process as well as information about student privacy. Please be sure to carefully read this information.
  • Provide the information requested on the “overview” page. Please be sure to fill in all of the required fields.
  • Once you’ve completed the “overview” page, select “Create Application Draft”.
  • Once a draft is completed, you can choose to continue moving on, or save it and return at a later time to finish it.
  • The second page is the “questionnaire” page. This page contains several questions that help the SDC staff learn about and understand your accommodation request. Please answer the questions with as much detail as you feel comfortable sharing.
  • Once you have answered all of the questions, click “Save and Upload Documentation,” to proceed with the application. Please note, even if you are not submitting documentation at this time, click this button to proceed with the application.
  • The third page is the “Submit Documentation” page. This page is optional. You are not required to submit documentation with your application. However, submitting documentation ahead of time may assist in pre-approval of certain accommodations and better prepares your accommodation specialist for your appointment. If you have documentation of your disability and want to share it with the SDC, you can do so through this page.
  • Click “Review Application” to proceed to the final step of the application
  • For the final step of the application, you will need to review your submission information and read the application agreement statement.
  • Read through the agreement statement and acknowledge it by clicking “Confirm to Proceed”.
  • Submit your application by clicking the “Submit Application” button.

Once you have submitted your application, your next step will be to schedule an appointment to meet with one of our accommodation specialists to further discuss your accommodation requests. Please note, your application will not be reviewed until you have scheduled an appointment.

To schedule an appointment please call our main office at 970-491-6385 or email [email protected]. Please note, if possible, it is easier and faster to schedule by phone.
