Announcements:

IMPORTANT: If you still need to send out your accommodation notification to your instructors for FALL 2023, you can find step by step instructions under the Student Tab by selecting Process for Current DAS Students. You can also access our video tutorials on the process under the Video How To’s Link. 

GRADUATE STUDENTS AND STUDENTS WITH INTERNSHIPS/CLINICALS: Please don't forget to set an appointment with our office to discuss any adjustments to accommodations, clinical or internship accommodations, or Graduate School accommodations as early as you can before the Fall semester. This is necessary if you have not updated your accommodations that you received as an undergraduate as they may not translate over to graduate courses very well.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Students if you have transferred to another NMSU campus, please call our office to notify us so that we can assist with transferring your accommodations to that campus. 

Priority Deadline for ESA Accommodation Applications: Please note that ESA requests received after 9/24/23 (which is the end of the room change period in Housing) if approved will begin Spring 2024 semester. This means that animals approved after that date cannot be brought on campus until the end of the Fall Semester. We encourage you to still apply and complete the process so that your accommodation can be in place. Please call our office if you have any questions. 

If you run into any issues or have any questions please feel free to email us or give us a call at das@nmsu.edu or 575-646-6840.

Thank you.
